Sukkur
Kiran lives with cerebral palsy. The occupational therapist at the Sukkur Rehabilitation Centre has assessed her and recommended a powered wheelchair. The public scheme doesn't cover it, and the quote from the supplier is $1,000. Her current equipment is 12 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined her to home for 12 weeks. With the right equipment Kiran 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 $1,000 goes: • powered wheelchair: $930 • Fitting and training sessions: $30 • Delivery and set-up: $15 • First-year servicing plan: $25 Thanks for reading all this. - Ali

  1. 74% there. the plan for first-year servicing plan is now scheduled. Thank you.

  2. Wanted to say thank you properly. 56% funded and I made the first payment toward fitting and training sessions.

  3. Good news. Because of your gifts ($265 in total) the plan for fitting and training sessions is now scheduled. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely. - Ali
