Ajay needs a powered wheelchair - help us make it happen
A powered wheelchair would give Ajay independence - we're $900 away.
🇮🇳 Gaya, Bihar, India2,149 views
I live with low vision from retinitis pigmentosa. My occupational therapist at the Gaya Mobility Clinic has assessed me and recommended a powered wheelchair. The public scheme doesn't cover it, and the quote from the supplier is $900.
My current equipment is 9 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined me to home for 5 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 $900 goes:
• powered wheelchair: $800
• Fitting and training sessions: $35
• Delivery and set-up: $30
• First-year servicing plan: $35
I'll pay this kindness forward the moment I'm able to.

Thinking of you, Ajay. Hope you get there. Love from Los Angeles.
Best of luck. I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. My neighbor in Medan donated after I showed her your page. Greetings from Medan.
can I help in a way that isn't money? I'm near Gaya.
Thank you. If you're in Gaya I'll say if something practical comes up. For now sharing this is great. Fair thing to want to know.
I hope things turn around soon. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. God bless!
Praying for you, Ajay. Looking forward to the next update. Love from Nottingham.
Best of luck, Ajay. Hope you get there
Take care, Ajay. Shared it with a few friends. Sent it to 10 people at work.
