I live with muscular dystrophy. My occupational therapist at the Jakarta Mobility Clinic has assessed me and recommended a powered wheelchair. The public scheme doesn't cover it, and the quote from the supplier is $800. My current equipment is 9 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined me to home for 6 weeks. With the right equipment I could attend work interviews. 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 $800 goes: โ€ข powered wheelchair: $680 โ€ข First-year servicing plan: $60 โ€ข Fitting and training sessions: $60 If you're reading this, thank you.
