Independence for Prachi: powered wheelchair
Prachi needs a powered wheelchair that the health system won't fund; the cost is $750.

I live with multiple sclerosis. My occupational therapist at Lucknow General Hospital has assessed me and recommended a powered wheelchair. The public scheme doesn't cover it, and the quote from the supplier is $750.
My current equipment is 8 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined me to home for 12 weeks.
With the right equipment I could speak with the people around her. 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 $750 goes:
• powered wheelchair: $720
• Fitting and training sessions: $25
• First-year servicing plan: $5
I hope life is good to you.

Good news. Because of your gifts ($225 in total) the plan for fitting and training sessions is now scheduled. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.

look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. Greetings from Greensboro.
Wishing you peace, Prachi. Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money.
