Lukman needs a powered wheelchair - help us make it happen

Lukman needs a powered wheelchair that the health system won't fund; the cost is $850.

Jakarta Selatan
Lukman lives with muscular dystrophy. The occupational therapist at the Jakarta Selatan Rehabilitation Centre has assessed him and recommended a powered wheelchair. The public scheme doesn't cover it, and the quote from the supplier is $850. His current equipment is 15 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined him to home for 12 weeks. With the right equipment Lukman could speak with the people around him. 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 $850 goes: • powered wheelchair: $740 • Fitting and training sessions: $30 • Delivery and set-up: $20 • First-year servicing plan: $60 I hope life is good to you.

Updates from Galih

  1. Update from Jakarta Selatan: the plan for fitting and training sessions is now scheduled. We're at 41% of the goal. Thank you for believing in us.

  2. Thank you all. We're at 54% now ($461). I'm honestly stunned. I met with the supplier and confirmed the amounts.

  3. Thank you all. We're at 30% now ($253). I'm honestly stunned. I made the first payment toward first-year servicing plan.
