Independence for Kimani: powered wheelchair
Help Kimani get a powered wheelchair so He can join the school sports day.
🇰🇪 Kenya771 views
I live with cerebral palsy. My occupational therapist at the Thika Mobility Clinic has assessed me and recommended a powered wheelchair. The public scheme doesn't cover it, and the quote from the supplier is $450.
My current equipment is 10 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined me to home for 6 weeks.
With the right equipment I could join the school sports day. 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 $450 goes:
• powered wheelchair: $310
• Fitting and training sessions: $25
• Delivery and set-up: $35
• First-year servicing plan: $80
Every share and every dollar helps.

So sorry you're going through this. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Don't be hard on yourself for asking. All the best.

You're not alone, Kimani. This could happen to any of us. Put this on a community board in Comilla this morning. Love from Comilla
Hang in there, Kimani. Hope you get there. Love from Warren.
Take care, Kimani. Your post was clear and honest. Wish I lived closer to Aurangabad so I could bring a meal
