Sheila lives with a spinal cord injury. The occupational therapist at Quezon City General Hospital has assessed her and recommended a powered wheelchair. The public scheme doesn't cover it, and the quote from the supplier is $500. Her current equipment is 14 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined her to home for 6 weeks. With the right equipment Sheila could speak with the people around her. 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. Funds go toward the equipment, delivery, fitting and a year of servicing. Where the $500 goes: • First-year servicing plan: $30 • powered wheelchair: $450 • Fitting and training sessions: $20 I'll pay this kindness forward the moment I'm able to.
