I live with cerebral palsy. My occupational therapist at Mumbai General Hospital has assessed me and recommended a powered wheelchair. The public scheme doesn't cover it, and the quote from the supplier is $100. My current equipment is 12 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined me to home for 7 weeks. With the right equipment I could go to school independently. 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. I'll pay the supplier directly from the funds, and I'll post a photo once the equipment is delivered. Where the $100 goes: • Delivery and set-up: $25 • Fitting and training sessions: $35 • First-year servicing plan: $40 Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.
