Help Marek get a powered wheelchair so He can join the school sports day.
🇬🇧 London, England, United Kingdom2,661 views
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.

Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Marek.
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.
Hope it all works out. Wishing Marek a smooth procedure and a full recovery. I'm in nursing myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you. Blessings.
