Independence for Maya: powered wheelchair
A powered wheelchair would give Maya independence - we're $1,400 away.

I live with profound hearing loss. My occupational therapist at the Jakarta Barat Rehabilitation Centre has assessed me and recommended a powered wheelchair. The public scheme doesn't cover it, and the quote from the supplier is $1,400.
My current equipment is 11 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined me to home for 8 weeks.
With the right equipment I could get to the shops and visit friends. 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 $1,400 goes:
• Delivery and set-up: $20
• powered wheelchair: $1,350
• Fitting and training sessions: $30
I'll pay this kindness forward the moment I'm able to.
