Evi lives with muscular dystrophy. The occupational therapist at Amsterdam General Hospital has assessed her and recommended a powered wheelchair. The public scheme doesn't cover it, and the quote from the supplier is $600. Her current equipment is 13 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined her to home for 3 weeks. With the right equipment Evi could go to school independently. 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. Funds go toward the equipment, delivery, fitting and a year of servicing. Where the $600 goes: • Fitting and training sessions: $210 • Delivery and set-up: $145 • First-year servicing plan: $245 If you can't give, please share this page. It does reach people.
