I live with profound hearing loss. My occupational therapist at Moscow General Hospital has assessed me and recommended a powered wheelchair. The public scheme doesn't cover it, and the quote from the supplier is $2,100. My current equipment is 8 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined me to home for 10 weeks. With the right equipment I could go to school independently. 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 $2,100 goes: โ€ข powered wheelchair: $1,950 โ€ข Fitting and training sessions: $45 โ€ข Delivery and set-up: $45 โ€ข First-year servicing plan: $60 With deep gratitude, Svetlana

      I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. After 7 years in hospitality I know how hard it's to ask for anything

          So sorry you're going through this, Svetlana. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier.

          • Rooting for you, Svetlana. Shared it with a few friends. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like.

              • Get well soon. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Greetings from Bucureศ™ti

                • Hope it all works out, Svetlana. Shared it with a few friends. My sister had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. All the best!

                  • Hope things get better soon, Svetlana. I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. Don't give up. Blessings.
