Mobility fund: powered wheelchair for Adrián in Oaxaca de Juárez
Adrián needs a powered wheelchair that the health system won't fund; the cost is $2,250.

I live with a rare neuromuscular condition. My occupational therapist at the Oaxaca de Juárez Mobility Clinic has assessed me and recommended a powered wheelchair. The public scheme doesn't cover it, and the quote from the supplier is $2,250.
My current equipment is 15 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined me to home for 4 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.
I'll pay the supplier directly from the funds, and I'll post a photo once the equipment is delivered.
Where the $2,250 goes:
• powered wheelchair: $2,050
• Fitting and training sessions: $65
• Delivery and set-up: $40
• First-year servicing plan: $95
I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.

rooting for you, Adrián. Hope the doctors have good news. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust. God bless.
Rooting for you. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day. Love from Nagpur.
Any update on how things are going in Oaxaca de Juárez?
Hang in there, Adrián. Hope you get there. Please keep us posted. Blessings
Sending strength, Adrián. Shared this with my family. It's not much but it's yours. Take care.
Take care, Adrián. Wishing Adrián a smooth procedure and a full recovery. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Love from Half-Way Tree
