I live with profound hearing loss. My occupational therapist at Düsseldorf General Hospital has assessed me and recommended a powered wheelchair. The public scheme doesn't cover it, and the quote from the supplier is $3,250. My current equipment is 10 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined me to home for 3 weeks. With the right equipment I could go to school independently. 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. Funds go toward the equipment, delivery, fitting and a year of servicing. Where the $3,250 goes: • powered wheelchair: $2,750 • Fitting and training sessions: $125 • Delivery and set-up: $180 • First-year servicing plan: $195 Thank you for reading my story.

Updates from Clara

  1. Good news. Because of your gifts ($15 in total) I made the first payment toward first-year servicing plan. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.

    I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Thinking of Düsseldorf
