Yuki lives with muscular dystrophy. The occupational therapist at Setagaya General Hospital has assessed her and recommended a powered wheelchair. The public scheme doesn't cover it, and the quote from the supplier is $2,000. Her current equipment is 14 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined her to home for 5 weeks. With the right equipment Yuki could join the school sports day. 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 $2,000 goes: • First-year servicing plan: $220 • Fitting and training sessions: $260 • powered wheelchair: $1,520 I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support. - Jiro
