Independence for Tamanna: powered wheelchair
A powered wheelchair would give Tamanna independence - we're $1,150 away.
🇮🇳 Thane, Maharashtra, India1,786 views
Tamanna lives with a spinal cord injury. The occupational therapist at Thane General Hospital has assessed her and recommended a powered wheelchair. The public scheme doesn't cover it, and the quote from the supplier is $1,150.
Her current equipment is 13 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined her to home for 12 weeks.
With the right equipment Tamanna could speak with the people around her. 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 $1,150 goes:
• First-year servicing plan: $45
• powered wheelchair: $1,100
• Delivery and set-up: $5
Thanks for being kind about this.
