Kartika lives with a rare neuromuscular condition. The occupational therapist at the Jakarta Selatan Rehabilitation Centre 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 14 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined her to home for 4 weeks. With the right equipment Kartika 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. I'll pay the supplier directly from the funds, and I'll post a photo once the equipment is delivered. Where the $600 goes: • powered wheelchair: $540 • First-year servicing plan: $25 • Fitting and training sessions: $35 You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.
