Hathai needs a powered wheelchair - help us make it happen
Help Hathai get a powered wheelchair so She can get to the shops and visit friends.
🇹🇭 Thailand1,187 views
I live with cerebral palsy. My occupational therapist at the Bang Khen Rehabilitation Centre has assessed me and recommended a powered wheelchair. The public scheme doesn't cover it, and the quote from the supplier is $1,300.
My current equipment is 15 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined me to home for 6 weeks.
With the right equipment I could get to the shops and visit friends. 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 $1,300 goes:
• Fitting and training sessions: $70
• Delivery and set-up: $45
• powered wheelchair: $1,185
Thanks for being kind about this.

You're not alone. This could happen to any of us. After 8 years in nursing I know how hard it's to ask for anything.
praying for you. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. I hope January is when things finally get easier. Greetings from Frankfurt.
You're not alone, Hathai. Hope this works out for you. Take care!
Sending strength. Shared this with my family. After 10 years in social work I know how hard it is to ask for anything. Blessings.
Thanks for sharing this. I hope things turn around soon. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust!
