A powered wheelchair for Myra: help me move freely
Help Myra get a powered wheelchair so She can go outside without waiting for someone to push.
🇮🇳 Nizamabad, Telangana, India2,353 views
I live with cerebral palsy. My occupational therapist at Nizamabad General Hospital has assessed me and recommended a powered wheelchair. The public scheme doesn't cover it, and the quote from the supplier is $1,400.
My current equipment is 10 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined me to home for 4 weeks.
With the right equipment I could go outside without waiting for someone to push. It would change my everyday life and my ability to work from home.
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 $1,400 goes:
• powered wheelchair: $1,350
• Delivery and set-up: $20
• Fitting and training sessions: $30
I hope life is good to you.

Thinking of you. Wishing Myra a smooth procedure and a full recovery. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. Thinking of Nizamabad.
Thanks for sharing this, Myra. Get well soon.
get well soon. Love from Newport.
