Help Ahmad get a powered wheelchair so He can get to the shops and visit friends.

I live with profound hearing loss. My occupational therapist at Depok General Hospital has assessed me and recommended a powered wheelchair. The public scheme doesn't cover it, and the quote from the supplier is $850. My current equipment is 15 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined me to home for 7 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. I'll pay the supplier directly from the funds, and I'll post a photo once the equipment is delivered. Where the $850 goes: • Delivery and set-up: $15 • powered wheelchair: $790 • First-year servicing plan: $45 You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.

    You're not alone, Ahmad. Your post was clear and honest. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like.
