A powered wheelchair for Lavanya: help Lavanya move freely
Help Lavanya get a powered wheelchair so She can speak with the people around her.
Anywhere in the world1,576 views
Lavanya lives with an amputation below the knee. The occupational therapist at Nagpur General Hospital has assessed her and recommended a powered wheelchair. The public scheme doesn't cover it, and the quote from the supplier is $1,150.
Her current equipment is 15 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined her to home for 12 weeks.
With the right equipment Lavanya could speak with the people around her. 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 $1,150 goes:
• powered wheelchair: $1,050
• Fitting and training sessions: $30
• Delivery and set-up: $15
• First-year servicing plan: $55
Thanks for reading all this.

is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Lavanya
Powered wheelchair is $1,050 of it. Everything else is listed in the story and nothing outside that list comes out of this page. Thanks for looking so closely.
Take care, Subramanian. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest.
sending good thoughts. This could happen to any of us. It's not much but it's yours
