Rubina lives with cerebral palsy. The occupational therapist at the Dhaka Rehabilitation Centre has assessed her and recommended a powered wheelchair. The public scheme doesn't cover it, and the quote from the supplier is $400. Her current equipment is 11 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined her to home for 3 weeks. With the right equipment Rubina could go outside without waiting for someone to push. 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 $400 goes: • First-year servicing plan: $20 • powered wheelchair: $360 • Delivery and set-up: $20 I hope life is good to you.
