Independence for Erlangga: powered wheelchair
A powered wheelchair would give Erlangga independence - we're $1,200 away.
🇮🇩 Surabaya, East Java, Indonesia962 views
I live with a spinal cord injury. My occupational therapist at the Surabaya Rehabilitation Centre has assessed me and recommended a powered wheelchair. The public scheme doesn't cover it, and the quote from the supplier is $1,200.
My current equipment is 9 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined me to home for 8 weeks.
With the right equipment I could attend work interviews. 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 $1,200 goes:
• First-year servicing plan: $30
• powered wheelchair: $1,150
• Delivery and set-up: $20
If you're reading this, thank you.

Thank you all. We're at 32% now ($382). I'm honestly stunned. I made the first payment toward delivery and set-up.

How is Erlangga doing now?
It takes guts to ask. Well done. Greetings from Çankaya
Is there anything that isn't money that would help Erlangga?
Thank you. If you're in Surabaya I'll say if something practical comes up. For now sharing this is great. Thanks, that means a lot.
Good luck, Erlangga. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier
sending love, Erlangga. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did.
Thanks for sharing this, Erlangga. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes.
wishing you peace, Erlangga. Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it.
Sending strength. Hope you get there. Love from Kathmandu.
