Mobility fund: powered wheelchair for Kweku in Kumasi
Help Kweku get a powered wheelchair so He can go outside without waiting for someone to push.
🇬🇭 Ghana1,825 views
I live with cerebral palsy. My occupational therapist at the Kumasi Mobility Clinic has assessed me and recommended a powered wheelchair. The public scheme doesn't cover it, and the quote from the supplier is $1,350.
My current equipment is 10 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined me to home for 7 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 $1,350 goes:
• Fitting and training sessions: $20
• powered wheelchair: $1,300
• Delivery and set-up: $30
Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.

How is Kweku doing now?
Sending strength, Kweku. Shared it with a few friends. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected
Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Kweku.
Good luck. It takes guts to ask. Well done. I'm in farming myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you. Love from Augusta.
hope this works out for you. My colleague had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. Blessings.
