Independence for Liam: powered wheelchair

Liam lives with low vision from retinitis pigmentosa. The occupational therapist at the Bakersfield Rehabilitation Centre has assessed him and recommended a powered wheelchair. The public scheme doesn't cover it, and the quote from the supplier is $10,400. His current equipment is 9 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined him to home for 5 weeks. With the right equipment Liam could join the school sports day. 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. I'll pay the supplier directly from the funds, and I'll post a photo once the equipment is delivered. Where the $10,400 goes: • powered wheelchair: $9,750 • Fitting and training sessions: $210 • Delivery and set-up: $155 • First-year servicing plan: $285 Thank you for reading my story. - Willow
