A powered wheelchair for Srinivas: help Srinivas move freely
Srinivas needs a powered wheelchair that the health system won't fund; the cost is $1,350.
🇮🇳 Rohini, Delhi, India2,012 views
Srinivas lives with profound hearing loss. The occupational therapist at the Rohini Rehabilitation Centre has assessed him and recommended a powered wheelchair. The public scheme doesn't cover it, and the quote from the supplier is $1,350.
His current equipment is 14 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined him to home for 12 weeks.
With the right equipment Srinivas could go to school independently. 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 $1,350 goes:
• powered wheelchair: $1,300
• First-year servicing plan: $35
• Delivery and set-up: $15
Ask me anything below before you decide. I'd rather you were sure.

Good luck, Kalyani. Your post was clear and honest. My husband and I read this together. Love from Bang Khen.
Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust. God bless.
