A powered wheelchair for Thierry: help Thierry move freely
A powered wheelchair would give Thierry independence - we're $2,850 away.
🇫🇷 France5,063 views
Thierry lives with an amputation below the knee. The occupational therapist at the Paris Mobility Clinic has assessed him and recommended a powered wheelchair. The public scheme doesn't cover it, and the quote from the supplier is $2,850.
His current equipment is 10 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined him to home for 4 weeks.
With the right equipment Thierry could get to the shops and visit friends. 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.
I'll pay the supplier directly from the funds, and I'll post a photo once the equipment is delivered.
Where the $2,850 goes:
• powered wheelchair: $2,400
• Fitting and training sessions: $195
• Delivery and set-up: $65
• First-year servicing plan: $190
Every share and every dollar helps.

Thinking of you, Dominique. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. After 14 years in logistics I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Take care
Praying for you, Dominique. Shared it with a few friends. Love from Abuja.
Wishing you peace. Looking forward to the next update. Greetings from Lalitpur!
