Independence for Ye-jin: powered wheelchair
A powered wheelchair would give Ye-jin independence - we're $3,500 away.
🇰🇷 South Korea3,413 views
Ye-jin lives with cerebral palsy. The occupational therapist at the Seoul Rehabilitation Centre has assessed her and recommended a powered wheelchair. The public scheme doesn't cover it, and the quote from the supplier is $3,500.
Her current equipment is 9 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined her to home for 12 weeks.
With the right equipment Ye-jin 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.
I'll pay the supplier directly from the funds, and I'll post a photo once the equipment is delivered.
Where the $3,500 goes:
• powered wheelchair: $3,050
• Fitting and training sessions: $100
• Delivery and set-up: $125
• First-year servicing plan: $225
I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen.

Wishing Ye-jin a smooth procedure and a full recovery. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust.
Hope things get better soon. This could happen to any of us. I went through something like this 7 years ago and strangers helped me out. Greetings from Peoria.
is there anything that isn't money that would help Ye-jin?
Wishing you peace, Min-jun. Your post was clear and honest. Thinking of Seoul
take care. Hope the doctors have good news. Sent it to 5 people at work.
Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Ye-jin.
The list at the bottom is the whole picture. powered wheelchair is the biggest at $3,050. Thanks for asking.
thanks for sharing this, Min-jun. Shared this with my family. My neighbor in Veracruz donated after I showed her your page
I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. Sent it to 33 people at work. Blessings.
Rooting for you. This could happen to any of us. I'm in retail myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you.
So sorry you're going through this, Min-jun. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. Wish I lived closer to Valencia so I could bring a meal!
Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. I went through something like this 6 years ago and strangers helped me out. Take care.
Sending love, Min-jun. Wishing Ye-jin a smooth procedure and a full recovery. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like!
good luck. Shared it with a few friends. My neighbor in Tampa donated after I showed her your page. All the best.
look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. Take care!
