A powered wheelchair for Margaret: help Margaret move freely
A powered wheelchair would give Margaret independence - we're $950 away.
🇺🇬 Entebbe, Central Region, Uganda1,107 views
Margaret lives with a spinal cord injury. The occupational therapist at Entebbe General Hospital has assessed her and recommended a powered wheelchair. The public scheme doesn't cover it, and the quote from the supplier is $950.
Her current equipment is 12 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined her to home for 10 weeks.
With the right equipment Margaret could attend work interviews. 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 $950 goes:
• powered wheelchair: $900
• First-year servicing plan: $20
• Fitting and training sessions: $30
I'll pay this kindness forward the moment I'm able to.
