Mangaluru
I live with low vision from retinitis pigmentosa. My occupational therapist at the Mangaluru Mobility Clinic has assessed me and recommended a powered wheelchair. The public scheme doesn't cover it, and the quote from the supplier is $1,300. My current equipment is 15 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined me to home for 12 weeks. With the right equipment I could go to school independently. 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. Funds go toward the equipment, delivery, fitting and a year of servicing. Where the $1,300 goes: โ€ข First-year servicing plan: $25 โ€ข Delivery and set-up: $30 โ€ข powered wheelchair: $1,245 Thanks for reading all this.

    Is there anything that isn't money that would help Haritha?

    • Haritha R. VaidyanathanOwnerAnswerAddress verifiedPhoto verified

      Sharing the link is the biggest thing. And if you know anything about first-year servicing plan, advice is welcome too.

  • Your post was clear and honest. Love from Medellรญn

    • Rooting for you. Hope you get there. Put this on a community board in Heliopolis this morning.

      • Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected

        • Thinking of you and your family, Haritha. Get well soon

          • Thinking of you, Haritha. Gave what I could, wish it was more. My husband and I read this together.

            • Stay strong, Haritha. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Blessings

              • Hope it all works out. This could happen to any of us. Wish I lived closer to Kaduna so I could bring a meal.

                • Stay strong, Haritha. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. Blessings
