Mobility fund: powered wheelchair for Kamol in Pattaya

Kamol needs a powered wheelchair that the health system won't fund; the cost is $500.

Pattaya
Kamol lives with muscular dystrophy. The occupational therapist at the Pattaya Mobility Clinic has assessed him and recommended a powered wheelchair. The public scheme doesn't cover it, and the quote from the supplier is $500. His current equipment is 10 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined him to home for 7 weeks. With the right equipment Kamol could speak with the people around him. 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. I'll pay the supplier directly from the funds, and I'll post a photo once the equipment is delivered. Where the $500 goes: • powered wheelchair: $440 • Fitting and training sessions: $35 • First-year servicing plan: $25 Thanks for reading all this. - Nattapong

        Sure. The biggest one is powered wheelchair, $440. The rest is in the list at the bottom of the post and I'll upload receipts as I pay each one. Happy to explain more.
