Mobility fund: powered wheelchair for Aurélie in Boulogne-Billancourt
Help Aurélie get a powered wheelchair so She can join the school sports day.
🇫🇷 France3,888 views
Aurélie lives with multiple sclerosis. The occupational therapist at Boulogne-Billancourt General Hospital has assessed her and recommended a powered wheelchair. The public scheme doesn't cover it, and the quote from the supplier is $5,850.
Her current equipment is 10 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined her to home for 10 weeks.
With the right equipment Aurélie could join the school sports day. 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.
Funds go toward the equipment, delivery, fitting and a year of servicing.
Where the $5,850 goes:
• powered wheelchair: $5,500
• First-year servicing plan: $190
• Delivery and set-up: $160
Thanks for reading all this.

So sorry you're going through this, Philippe. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double.
Thinking of you and your family, Philippe. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Greetings from Agra.
