Lilian needs a powered wheelchair - help us make it happen
Help Lilian get a powered wheelchair so She can go outside without waiting for someone to push.
🇳🇬 Nigeria1,166 views
I live with profound hearing loss. My occupational therapist at the Gwagwalada Mobility Clinic has assessed me and recommended a powered wheelchair. The public scheme doesn't cover it, and the quote from the supplier is $600.
My current equipment is 15 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined me to home for 7 weeks.
With the right equipment I could go outside without waiting for someone to push. 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 $600 goes:
• powered wheelchair: $500
• Fitting and training sessions: $30
• Delivery and set-up: $10
• First-year servicing plan: $60
If you can't give, please share this page. It does reach people.

Thinking of you and your family, Lilian. Shared it with a few friends. I have a 16 year old who wants to send good wishes too
Keep going, Lilian. Your post was clear and honest. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust. All the best.
Shared this with my family. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Thinking of Gwagwalada.
Thanks for sharing this. Hope you get there. Greetings from Sacramento

Sending love, Lilian. I hope things turn around soon. I went through something like this 8 years ago and strangers helped me out. Love from Makati
Hope the doctors have good news. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it.
Take care. Hope the doctors have good news. My husband and I read this together. Greetings from Nagpur
