I live with a rare neuromuscular condition. My occupational therapist at the London Rehabilitation Centre has assessed me and recommended a powered wheelchair. The public scheme doesn't cover it, and the quote from the supplier is $3,350. My current equipment is 11 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined me to home for 12 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. I'll pay the supplier directly from the funds, and I'll post a photo once the equipment is delivered. Where the $3,350 goes: • powered wheelchair: $2,800 • Fitting and training sessions: $210 • Delivery and set-up: $100 • First-year servicing plan: $240 Thank you for reading my story. - Marek

  • Burak Recep GüneşQuestion

    Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Marek.

    • Marek DudekOwnerAnswer

      Everything on the list is an amount I've been quoted or invoiced. powered wheelchair comes first ($2,800) and I'll update the page as each thing gets paid. Ask me anything else.
