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: • powered wheelchair: $1,950 • Fitting and training sessions: $45 • Delivery and set-up: $45 • 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.
