Guarulhos
I live with an amputation below the knee. My occupational therapist at Guarulhos General Hospital has assessed me and recommended a powered wheelchair. The public scheme doesn't cover it, and the quote from the supplier is $1,150. My current equipment is 12 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined me to home for 8 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. I'll pay the supplier directly from the funds, and I'll post a photo once the equipment is delivered. Where the $1,150 goes: • powered wheelchair: $890 • Fitting and training sessions: $100 • Delivery and set-up: $60 • First-year servicing plan: $100 I'll pay this kindness forward the moment I'm able to. - Priscila
