Thiện lives with cerebral palsy. The occupational therapist at the Hồ Chí Minh City Mobility Clinic has assessed him and recommended a powered wheelchair. The public scheme doesn't cover it, and the quote from the supplier is $850. His current equipment is 9 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined him to home for 8 weeks. With the right equipment Thiện 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 $850 goes: • powered wheelchair: $770 • Fitting and training sessions: $40 • Delivery and set-up: $15 • First-year servicing plan: $25 Thanks for reading all this. - Quang

  • praying for you, Quang. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Greetings from Ribeirão Preto

    • Take care, Quang. Hope the doctors have good news. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. Thinking of Hồ Chí Minh City.

      • Thinking of you, Quang. Looking forward to the next update. Blessings.

        • Good luck. Wishing Thiện a smooth procedure and a full recovery. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. God bless.

          • Keep going. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. My neighbor in Hồ Chí Minh City donated after I showed her your page

            • Sending good thoughts. It takes guts to ask. Well done. After 23 years in customer support I know how hard it's to ask for anything.

              • Hope things get better soon. Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick. Thinking of Hồ Chí Minh City
