Joseph needs a powered wheelchair - help us make it happen
A powered wheelchair would give Joseph independence - we're $950 away.

I live with profound hearing loss. My occupational therapist at the Kakamega Mobility Clinic has assessed me and recommended a powered wheelchair. The public scheme doesn't cover it, and the quote from the supplier is $950.
My current equipment is 10 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined me to home for 5 weeks.
With the right equipment I could speak with the people around him. It would change my everyday life and my ability to work from home.
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 $950 goes:
• powered wheelchair: $860
• Fitting and training sessions: $20
• Delivery and set-up: $35
• First-year servicing plan: $35
I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen.

Thinking of you, Joseph. Hope you get there. Greetings from Shinjuku
I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. Greetings from Tiruchirappalli.
Best of luck. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Wish I lived closer to Gwagwalada so I could bring a meal.
Hang in there, Joseph. Looking forward to the next update!
