I live with an amputation below the knee. My occupational therapist at the Bristol Rehabilitation Centre has assessed me and recommended a powered wheelchair. The public scheme doesn't cover it, and the quote from the supplier is $6,400.
My current equipment is 13 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined me to home for 7 weeks.
With the right equipment I could speak with the people around him. 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.
I'll pay the supplier directly from the funds, and I'll post a photo once the equipment is delivered.
Where the $6,400 goes:
• powered wheelchair: $5,750
• Fitting and training sessions: $270
• Delivery and set-up: $85
• First-year servicing plan: $295
Thanks for reading all this.
