Carlo needs a powered wheelchair - help us make it happen
Carlo needs a powered wheelchair that the health system will not fund; the cost is $50.
🇵🇭 Metro Manila, Philippines479 views
Carlo lives with a rare neuromuscular condition. The occupational therapist at the Quezon City Rehabilitation Centre has assessed him and recommended a powered wheelchair. The public scheme doesn't cover it, and the quote from the supplier is $50.
His current equipment is 14 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined him to home for 8 weeks.
With the right equipment Carlo could join the school sports day. 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 $50 goes:
• Delivery and set-up: $15
• Fitting and training sessions: $20
• First-year servicing plan: $15
Ask me anything below before you decide. I'd rather you were sure.
