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. - Nathan
