Independence for Yared: powered wheelchair

Yared lives with a rare neuromuscular condition. The occupational therapist at the Hawassa Rehabilitation Centre has assessed him and recommended a powered wheelchair. The public scheme doesn't cover it, and the quote from the supplier is $650. His current equipment is 10 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined him to home for 5 weeks. With the right equipment Yared could speak with the people around him. 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 $650 goes: • powered wheelchair: $520 • Fitting and training sessions: $50 • Delivery and set-up: $15 • First-year servicing plan: $65 I hope life is good to you.
