Independence for Babatunde: powered wheelchair
A powered wheelchair would give Babatunde independence - we're $100 away.

Babatunde lives with an amputation below the knee. The occupational therapist at the Lagos Rehabilitation Centre has assessed him and recommended a powered wheelchair. The public scheme doesn't cover it, and the quote from the supplier is $100.
His current equipment is 12 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined him to home for 7 weeks.
With the right equipment Babatunde could join the school sports day. 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.
I'll pay the supplier directly from the funds, and I'll post a photo once the equipment is delivered.
Where the $100 goes:
• Fitting and training sessions: $20
• First-year servicing plan: $50
• Delivery and set-up: $30
Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.
