Jayden needs a powered wheelchair - help us make it happen
A powered wheelchair would give Jayden independence - we're $6,700 away.

Jayden lives with an amputation below the knee. The occupational therapist at the Riverside Rehabilitation Centre has assessed him and recommended a powered wheelchair. The public scheme doesn't cover it, and the quote from the supplier is $6,700.
His current equipment is 14 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined him to home for 7 weeks.
With the right equipment Jayden could join the school sports day. 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 $6,700 goes:
• First-year servicing plan: $310
• Fitting and training sessions: $145
• powered wheelchair: $6,245
Thanks for reading all this.

Thinking of you and your family, Isaac. Hope you get there.
your post was clear and honest. Thinking of Riverside.
I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. We're a small family in Atlanta but we're thinking of you.
Sending love. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Love from Glendale
Hang in there, Isaac. Hope this works out for you. I'll check back for the next update. Greetings from São Paulo.
Good luck, Isaac. Your post was clear and honest. Sent it to 29 people at work. Thinking of Riverside.
keep going, Isaac. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day.
Praying for you. This could happen to any of us. I hope November is when things finally get easier. Take care.
Thinking of you and your family. It takes guts to ask. Well done. I have a 7 year old who wants to send good wishes too.
