A powered wheelchair for Lukman: help Lukman move freely
Lukman needs a powered wheelchair that the health system won't fund; the cost is $600.
🇮🇩 East Java, Indonesia885 views
Lukman lives with multiple sclerosis. The occupational therapist at the Kediri Mobility Clinic has assessed him and recommended a powered wheelchair. The public scheme doesn't cover it, and the quote from the supplier is $600.
His current equipment is 15 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined him to home for 12 weeks.
With the right equipment Lukman could speak with the people around him. 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:
• Delivery and set-up: $25
• Fitting and training sessions: $35
• powered wheelchair: $540
Thanks for reading all this.

I hope things turn around soon. My sister had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. Love from Bhopal.
