Independence for Irene: powered wheelchair
Help Irene get a powered wheelchair so She can go to school independently.
🇲🇽 44108, Guadalajara, Jalisco, Mexico2,272 views
I live with cerebral palsy. My occupational therapist at the Guadalajara Mobility Clinic has assessed me and recommended a powered wheelchair. The public scheme doesn't cover it, and the quote from the supplier is $3,050.
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 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 $3,050 goes:
• First-year servicing plan: $45
• Delivery and set-up: $40
• powered wheelchair: $2,965
Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.

wishing you the best, Irene. Hope this works out for you. Love from Yekaterinburg.
is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Irene.
Everything on the list is an amount I've been quoted or invoiced. first-year servicing plan comes first ($45) and I'll update the page as each thing gets paid. Let me know if you want more detail.
stay strong, Irene. This could happen to any of us. Don't give up. All the best.
Hope things get better soon, Irene. Gave what I could, wish it was more. It's not much but it's yours.
