Independence for Rukhsar: powered wheelchair
Rukhsar needs a powered wheelchair that the health system will not fund; the cost is $600.
🇵🇰 Sindh, Pakistan1,190 views
I live with a rare neuromuscular condition. My occupational therapist at the Karachi Rehabilitation Centre has assessed me and recommended a powered wheelchair. The public scheme doesn't cover it, and the quote from the supplier is $600.
My current equipment is 10 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined me to home for 3 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.
Funds go toward the equipment, delivery, fitting and a year of servicing.
Where the $600 goes:
• Delivery and set-up: $10
• powered wheelchair: $560
• Fitting and training sessions: $30
Glad we found this place.

Sending love, Rukhsar. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. All the best
Keep going, Rukhsar. Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick. God bless.
Good luck. Wishing Rukhsar a smooth procedure and a full recovery. I'm in farming myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you. Greetings from Denpasar.
Wishing you the best, Rukhsar. Shared it with a few friends. I'll check back for the next update. Thinking of Karachi.
your post was clear and honest. Wish I lived closer to Leeds so I could bring a meal. God bless.
Get well soon. I have a 15 year old who wants to send good wishes too.
Take care, Rukhsar. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Take care.
Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. My cousin had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. God bless.
Thanks for sharing this, Rukhsar. Hope you get there. Thinking of Karachi
Good luck, Rukhsar. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. After 8 years in public service I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Thinking of Karachi.
