Independence for Alexa: powered wheelchair
Help Alexa get a powered wheelchair so She can go to school independently.
🇦🇺 4009, Brisbane, Queensland, Australia2,215 views
Alexa lives with an amputation below the knee. The occupational therapist at Brisbane General Hospital has assessed her and recommended a powered wheelchair. The public scheme doesn't cover it, and the quote from the supplier is $2,600.
Her current equipment is 8 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined her to home for 7 weeks.
With the right equipment Alexa could go to school independently. 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 $2,600 goes:
• Fitting and training sessions: $180
• powered wheelchair: $2,100
• First-year servicing plan: $320
Ask me anything below before you decide. I'd rather you were sure.

Stay strong, Luke. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust. Take care.
