Brenda lives with profound hearing loss. The occupational therapist at the Anaheim Mobility Clinic has assessed her and recommended a powered wheelchair. The public scheme doesn't cover it, and the quote from the supplier is $7,150. Her current equipment is 8 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined her to home for 4 weeks. With the right equipment Brenda 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 $7,150 goes: • powered wheelchair: $6,250 • Fitting and training sessions: $390 • Delivery and set-up: $140 • First-year servicing plan: $370 If you can't give, please share this page. It does reach people.

    keep going. Get well soon. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. God bless

    • Best of luck, Theodore. Shared it with a few friends. Take care.

      • Take care, Theodore. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes.

        • sending love, Theodore. Shared this with my family. My neighbor in Soweto donated after I showed her your page.

          • thinking of you and your family. Wishing Brenda a smooth procedure and a full recovery. After 23 years in logistics I know how hard it's to ask for anything.

            • Hope things get better soon. I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. Take care.
