A powered wheelchair for Juliana: help Juliana move freely
Help Juliana get a powered wheelchair so She can go outside without waiting for someone to push.
🇧🇷 Brazil1,973 views
Juliana lives with cerebral palsy. The occupational therapist at São Paulo General Hospital has assessed her and recommended a powered wheelchair. The public scheme doesn't cover it, and the quote from the supplier is $1,850.
Her current equipment is 11 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined her to home for 6 weeks.
With the right equipment Juliana 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 $1,850 goes:
• Fitting and training sessions: $100
• powered wheelchair: $1,700
• Delivery and set-up: $50
You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.

Thinking of you and your family, Diego. Hope you get there. Greetings from Hồ Chí Minh City.
Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick. After 16 years in nursing I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Take care
rooting for you, Diego. Hope the doctors have good news. I'll check back for the next update. Take care
Hope it all works out, Diego. I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. My neighbor had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. Take care!
Thanks for sharing this, Diego. I hope things turn around soon
best of luck, Diego. Hope you get there. I went through something like this 5 years ago and strangers helped me out
Hang in there. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. I went through something like this 12 years ago and strangers helped me out.
Praying for you. Hope the doctors have good news. Sent it to 13 people at work. All the best.
Hope this works out for you. Greetings from Duque de Caxias.
Keep going, Diego. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. Greetings from Giza.
