I live with multiple sclerosis. My occupational therapist at the Vancouver Rehabilitation Centre has assessed me and recommended a powered wheelchair. The public scheme doesn't cover it, and the quote from the supplier is $9,900. My current equipment is 12 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined me to home for 5 weeks. With the right equipment I could go outside without waiting for someone to push. 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 $9,900 goes: • powered wheelchair: $9,000 • Fitting and training sessions: $400 • Delivery and set-up: $145 • First-year servicing plan: $355 Thank you for reading my story. - Hailey

Updates from Hailey

  1. We're at 40% thanks to 123 of you. we've booked the dates and paid the deposit. More news soon.

  2. Update from Vancouver: I met with the supplier and confirmed the amounts. We're at 22% of the goal. Thank you for believing in us.

  3. Good news. Because of your gifts ($1,219 in total) the first invoice got paid this week. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.
