Christian needs a powered wheelchair - help us make it happen
Christian needs a powered wheelchair that the health system will not fund; the cost is $800.
🇺🇸 El Paso, Texas, United States1,170 views
Christian lives with multiple sclerosis. The occupational therapist at El Paso General Hospital has assessed him and recommended a powered wheelchair. The public scheme doesn't cover it, and the quote from the supplier is $800.
His current equipment is 8 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined him to home for 12 weeks.
With the right equipment Christian 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 $800 goes:
• Delivery and set-up: $210
• First-year servicing plan: $340
• Fitting and training sessions: $250
Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot.
