Humaira lives with profound hearing loss. The occupational therapist at Gujranwala General Hospital has assessed her and recommended a powered wheelchair. The public scheme doesn't cover it, and the quote from the supplier is $350. Her current equipment is 14 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined her to home for 10 weeks. With the right equipment Humaira could attend work interviews. 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 $350 goes: โ€ข powered wheelchair: $280 โ€ข Fitting and training sessions: $40 โ€ข Delivery and set-up: $30 Glad we found this place. - Arslan

        • Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Humaira

            Powered wheelchair is $280 of it. Everything else is listed in the story and nothing outside that list comes out of this page.
