Mobility fund: powered wheelchair for Dmytro in Kyiv
A powered wheelchair would give Dmytro independence - we're $1,600 away.
🇺🇦 Ukraine1,030 views
Dmytro lives with cerebral palsy. The occupational therapist at the Kyiv Rehabilitation Centre has assessed him and recommended a powered wheelchair. The public scheme doesn't cover it, and the quote from the supplier is $1,600.
His current equipment is 13 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined him to home for 7 weeks.
With the right equipment Dmytro could attend work interviews. 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 $1,600 goes:
• powered wheelchair: $1,450
• Fitting and training sessions: $70
• Delivery and set-up: $30
• First-year servicing plan: $50

Thanks for sharing this, Roman. Hope this works out for you. Put this on a community board in Siliguri this morning. Love from Siliguri.
good luck, Roman. Gave what I could, wish it was more. We're a small family in Agra but we're thinking of you. All the best.
Stay strong, Roman. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. Love from Belo Horizonte.
Thanks for sharing this. Get well soon. My neighbor had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. All the best.
Wishing you peace, Roman. Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick. Take care.
