Independence for Rutuja: powered wheelchair

Rutuja lives with low vision from retinitis pigmentosa. The occupational therapist at Mumbai General Hospital has assessed her and recommended a powered wheelchair. The public scheme doesn't cover it, and the quote from the supplier is $750. Her current equipment is 15 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined her to home for 4 weeks. With the right equipment Rutuja could attend work interviews. 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 $750 goes: • Fitting and training sessions: $60 • powered wheelchair: $620 • First-year servicing plan: $70 Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.
