Independence for Arianna: powered wheelchair
A powered wheelchair would give Arianna independence - we're $650 away.
🇺🇸 United States678 views
I live with multiple sclerosis. My occupational therapist at the San Diego Mobility Clinic has assessed me and recommended a powered wheelchair. The public scheme doesn't cover it, and the quote from the supplier is $650.
My current equipment is 12 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 $650 goes:
• Delivery and set-up: $130
• First-year servicing plan: $175
• Fitting and training sessions: $345
I hope life is good to you.
