Duisburg
Luis lives with a rare neuromuscular condition. The occupational therapist at the Duisburg Mobility Clinic has assessed him and recommended a powered wheelchair. The public scheme doesn't cover it, and the quote from the supplier is $7,500. His current equipment is 11 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined him to home for 12 weeks. With the right equipment Luis could get to the shops and visit friends. 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 $7,500 goes: • powered wheelchair: $7,000 • Fitting and training sessions: $270 • Delivery and set-up: $125 • First-year servicing plan: $105 Glad we found this place. - Nadine
