Dehiwala

Nalin lives with muscular dystrophy. The occupational therapist at the Dehiwala Rehabilitation Centre has assessed him and recommended a powered wheelchair. The public scheme doesn't cover it, and the quote from the supplier is $800. His current equipment is 12 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined him to home for 8 weeks. With the right equipment Nalin 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 $800 goes: • powered wheelchair: $660 • Fitting and training sessions: $60 • Delivery and set-up: $15 • First-year servicing plan: $65 With deep gratitude, Dinusha
