Bartosz needs a powered wheelchair - help us make it happen
Help Bartosz get a powered wheelchair so He can go outside without waiting for someone to push.
🇬🇧 Manchester, England, United Kingdom1,219 views
Bartosz lives with cerebral palsy. The occupational therapist at the Manchester Mobility Clinic has assessed him and recommended a powered wheelchair. The public scheme doesn't cover it, and the quote from the supplier is $2,800.
His current equipment is 10 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined him to home for 4 weeks.
With the right equipment Bartosz could go outside without waiting for someone to push. 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 $2,800 goes:
• First-year servicing plan: $280
• powered wheelchair: $2,200
• Fitting and training sessions: $320
Thanks for being kind about this.

take care, Maria. I hope things turn around soon. Sent it to 12 people at work. Love from Montréal
Thinking of you, Maria. This could happen to any of us. Put this on a community board in Magelang this morning. Thinking of Manchester
Praying for you. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Don't give up. Take care
So sorry you're going through this, Maria. Shared this with my family. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. God bless.
Hang in there, Maria. Hope the doctors have good news. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. Thinking of Manchester
Keep going. Get well soon. It's not much but it's yours. Love from Quezon City.
Sending good thoughts, Maria. I hope things turn around soon.
Hope it all works out. Shared this with my family. Thinking of Manchester
Good luck, Maria. Get well soon. I'll check back for the next update. Greetings from Lagos!
hope it all works out, Maria. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it.
