Independence for Tayo: powered wheelchair
Tayo needs a powered wheelchair that the health system won't fund; the cost is $950.

Tayo lives with cerebral palsy. The occupational therapist at the Zaria Mobility Clinic has assessed him and recommended a powered wheelchair. The public scheme doesn't cover it, and the quote from the supplier is $950.
His current equipment is 13 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined him to home for 4 weeks.
With the right equipment Tayo 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.
I'll pay the supplier directly from the funds, and I'll post a photo once the equipment is delivered.
Where the $950 goes:
• Fitting and training sessions: $30
• powered wheelchair: $900
• Delivery and set-up: $20
I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen.

Good luck. Looking forward to the next update. Greetings from Gaya.
Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Greetings from Bengaluru.
