Aoife lives with muscular dystrophy. The occupational therapist at the Kilkenny Rehabilitation Centre has assessed her and recommended a powered wheelchair. The public scheme doesn't cover it, and the quote from the supplier is $400. Her current equipment is 12 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined her to home for 6 weeks. With the right equipment Aoife could attend work interviews. 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 $400 goes: • Fitting and training sessions: $125 • Delivery and set-up: $95 • First-year servicing plan: $180 I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.
