A powered wheelchair for Teresa: help me move freely

A powered wheelchair would give Teresa independence - we're $9,450 away.

I live with cerebral palsy. My occupational therapist at San Diego General Hospital has assessed me and recommended a powered wheelchair. The public scheme doesn't cover it, and the quote from the supplier is $9,450. My current equipment is 9 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined me to home for 12 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 $9,450 goes: • powered wheelchair: $8,750 • Fitting and training sessions: $360 • Delivery and set-up: $125 • First-year servicing plan: $215 With deep gratitude, Teresa
