Tamale
I live with cerebral palsy. My occupational therapist at the Tamale Rehabilitation Centre has assessed me and recommended a powered wheelchair. The public scheme doesn't cover it, and the quote from the supplier is $1,000. My current equipment is 8 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined me to home for 8 weeks. With the right equipment I could join the school sports day. 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 $1,000 goes: • powered wheelchair: $890 • Fitting and training sessions: $45 • Delivery and set-up: $25 • First-year servicing plan: $40 I'll pay this kindness forward the moment I'm able to. - Sandra
