A powered wheelchair for Jayden: help Jayden move freely
Jayden needs a powered wheelchair that the health system won't fund; the cost is $9,950.
🇺🇸 United States5,216 views
Jayden lives with an amputation below the knee. The occupational therapist at Los Angeles General Hospital has assessed him and recommended a powered wheelchair. The public scheme doesn't cover it, and the quote from the supplier is $9,950.
His current equipment is 13 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined him to home for 6 weeks.
With the right equipment Jayden could go outside without waiting for someone to push. 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.
I'll pay the supplier directly from the funds, and I'll post a photo once the equipment is delivered.
Where the $9,950 goes:
• Fitting and training sessions: $170
• First-year servicing plan: $260
• powered wheelchair: $9,520
Thanks for being kind about this.

This could happen to any of us. My father had a similar thing happen so this one hit home
Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick. Greetings from Aurangabad.
Keep going. I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. I went through something like this 5 years ago and strangers helped me out. Thinking of Los Angeles.
