Naliaka lives with profound hearing loss. The occupational therapist at Entebbe General Hospital has assessed her and recommended a powered wheelchair. The public scheme doesn't cover it, and the quote from the supplier is $300. Her current equipment is 13 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined her to home for 12 weeks. With the right equipment Naliaka 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. Funds go toward the equipment, delivery, fitting and a year of servicing. Where the $300 goes: • powered wheelchair: $260 • Fitting and training sessions: $20 • Delivery and set-up: $20 I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support. - Irene
