Isabelle lives with low vision from retinitis pigmentosa. The occupational therapist at London General Hospital has assessed her and recommended a powered wheelchair. The public scheme doesn't cover it, and the quote from the supplier is $600. Her current equipment is 11 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined her to home for 10 weeks. With the right equipment Isabelle could go to school independently. It would change everyday life for the whole family. We've applied to two charities already and received small contributions; this campaign covers the rest. Funds go toward the equipment, delivery, fitting and a year of servicing. Where the $600 goes: • Fitting and training sessions: $210 • First-year servicing plan: $310 • Delivery and set-up: $80 Every share and every dollar helps. - Levi
