Independence for Erlangga: powered wheelchair

A powered wheelchair would give Erlangga independence - we're $1,200 away.

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. - Erlangga

Updates from Erlangga

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