Hye-jin lives with a rare neuromuscular condition. The occupational therapist at Seoul General Hospital has assessed her and recommended a powered wheelchair. The public scheme doesn't cover it, and the quote from the supplier is $5,650. Her current equipment is 13 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined her to home for 6 weeks. With the right equipment Hye-jin could get to the shops and visit friends. 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 $5,650 goes: โ€ข Fitting and training sessions: $260 โ€ข First-year servicing plan: $145 โ€ข powered wheelchair: $5,245 Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot. - Min-ji
