Independence for Mavis: powered wheelchair
Help Mavis get a powered wheelchair so She can attend work interviews.

I live with a spinal cord injury. My occupational therapist at Cape Coast General Hospital has assessed me and recommended a powered wheelchair. The public scheme doesn't cover it, and the quote from the supplier is $850.
My current equipment is 8 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined me to home for 4 weeks.
With the right equipment I could attend work interviews. 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 $850 goes:
• Fitting and training sessions: $50
• First-year servicing plan: $25
• powered wheelchair: $775
Thanks for being kind about this.
