I live with muscular dystrophy. My occupational therapist at the Wollongong Rehabilitation Centre has assessed me and recommended a powered wheelchair. The public scheme doesn't cover it, and the quote from the supplier is $9,300. My current equipment is 11 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined me to home for 10 weeks. With the right equipment I could join the school sports day. 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 $9,300 goes: • powered wheelchair: $8,500 • Fitting and training sessions: $350 • Delivery and set-up: $115 • First-year servicing plan: $335 I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support. - Ahmed

    what exactly is the $9,300 for?

    • Ahmed Qasim MahmoudOwnerAnswer

      Everything on the list is an amount I've been quoted or invoiced. powered wheelchair comes first ($8,500) and I'll update the page as each thing gets paid. Ask me anything else.

          I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. Wish I lived closer to Bologna so I could bring a meal. Love from London.
