Independence for Dian: powered wheelchair

Dian needs a powered wheelchair that the health system won't fund; the cost is $100.

Dian lives with profound hearing loss. The occupational therapist at Jakarta Barat General Hospital has assessed her and recommended a powered wheelchair. The public scheme doesn't cover it, and the quote from the supplier is $100. Her current equipment is 11 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined her to home for 8 weeks. With the right equipment Dian 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: • First-year servicing plan: $35 • Fitting and training sessions: $40 • Delivery and set-up: $25 You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it. - Okta

            Wishing you peace, Okta. It takes guts to ask. Well done. After 8 years in farming I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Thinking of Jakarta Barat.
