Léa lives with low vision from retinitis pigmentosa. The occupational therapist at the Metz Rehabilitation Centre has assessed her and recommended a powered wheelchair. The public scheme doesn't cover it, and the quote from the supplier is $6,800. Her current equipment is 12 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined her to home for 5 weeks. With the right equipment Léa could join the school sports day. 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 $6,800 goes: • powered wheelchair: $6,250 • Fitting and training sessions: $300 • Delivery and set-up: $125 • First-year servicing plan: $125 Glad we found this place.
