A powered wheelchair for Mihaela: help Mihaela move freely

Help Mihaela get a powered wheelchair so She can join the school sports day.

București
Mihaela lives with muscular dystrophy. The occupational therapist at the București Mobility Clinic 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 10 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined her to home for 4 weeks. With the right equipment Mihaela 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 $1,150 goes: • powered wheelchair: $930 • Fitting and training sessions: $65 • Delivery and set-up: $35 • First-year servicing plan: $120 Thanks for reading all this. - Cristina
