Bruna needs a powered wheelchair - help us make it happen
Bruna needs a powered wheelchair that the health system won't fund; the cost is $2,150.
🇧🇷 São Paulo, Brazil1,008 views
I live with a rare neuromuscular condition. My occupational therapist at the São Paulo Rehabilitation Centre has assessed me and recommended a powered wheelchair. The public scheme doesn't cover it, and the quote from the supplier is $2,150.
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 attend work interviews. 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.
I'll pay the supplier directly from the funds, and I'll post a photo once the equipment is delivered.
Where the $2,150 goes:
• powered wheelchair: $1,900
• Fitting and training sessions: $105
• Delivery and set-up: $55
• First-year servicing plan: $90
Glad we found this place.
