Mobility fund: powered wheelchair for Everett in Hamilton
Help Everett get a powered wheelchair so He can go outside without waiting for someone to push.
🇨🇦 Hamilton, Ontario, Canada2,924 views
I live with low vision from retinitis pigmentosa. My occupational therapist at the Hamilton Mobility Clinic has assessed me and recommended a powered wheelchair. The public scheme doesn't cover it, and the quote from the supplier is $3,350.
My current equipment is 15 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined me to home for 10 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 $3,350 goes:
• Delivery and set-up: $210
• powered wheelchair: $2,750
• First-year servicing plan: $390

Keep going. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. I'm in social work myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you. God bless
