Independence for Hao: powered wheelchair
A powered wheelchair would give Hao independence - we are $5,950 away.
🇺🇸 San Jose, California, United States1,677 views
I live with profound hearing loss. My occupational therapist at the San Jose Mobility Clinic has assessed me and recommended a powered wheelchair. The public scheme doesn't cover it, and the quote from the supplier is $5,950.
My current equipment is 12 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined me to home for 7 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 $5,950 goes:
• Delivery and set-up: $70
• powered wheelchair: $5,500
• Fitting and training sessions: $380
Glad we found this place.

Sending strength, Hao. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Greetings from Nairobi.
How is Hao doing now?
Thinking of you and your family, Hao. Looking forward to the next update. Put this on a community board in Multan this morning. God bless.
is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Hao
It's all in the list in the story. delivery and set-up is the big one at $70, I'll post a receipt when it's paid. Thanks for looking so closely.
Good luck, Hao. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. Take care.
Praying for you, Hao. Your post was clear and honest. Please keep us posted.
wishing you the best. Hope this works out for you. I hope May is when things finally get easier. Love from Leeds
Take care, Hao. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. Please keep us posted. Blessings.
