Ivy needs a powered wheelchair - help us make it happen

Help Ivy get a powered wheelchair so She can get to the shops and visit friends.

Ivy lives with low vision from retinitis pigmentosa. The occupational therapist at the Melbourne Mobility Clinic has assessed her and recommended a powered wheelchair. The public scheme doesn't cover it, and the quote from the supplier is $8,500. Her current equipment is 13 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined her to home for 8 weeks. With the right equipment Ivy could get to the shops and visit friends. 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 $8,500 goes: • powered wheelchair: $8,250 • Fitting and training sessions: $135 • Delivery and set-up: $115 With deep gratitude, Dylan

    Thinking of you. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. Blessings.
