Mobility fund: powered wheelchair for Konstantin in Saint Petersburg
A powered wheelchair would give Konstantin independence - we're $2,050 away.
🇷🇺 Saint Petersburg, Saint Petersburg, Russia769 views
Konstantin lives with cerebral palsy. The occupational therapist at Saint Petersburg General Hospital has assessed him and recommended a powered wheelchair. The public scheme doesn't cover it, and the quote from the supplier is $2,050.
His current equipment is 9 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined him to home for 12 weeks.
With the right equipment Konstantin 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 $2,050 goes:
• Fitting and training sessions: $115
• First-year servicing plan: $60
• powered wheelchair: $1,875
If you're reading this, thank you.

shared this with my family. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend. Greetings from Bekasi!
I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Wish I lived closer to Montpellier so I could bring a meal.
