Envigado
Mariana lives with profound hearing loss. The occupational therapist at the Envigado Rehabilitation Centre has assessed her and recommended a powered wheelchair. The public scheme doesn't cover it, and the quote from the supplier is $2,100. Her current equipment is 14 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined her to home for 7 weeks. With the right equipment Mariana could attend work interviews. 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. Funds go toward the equipment, delivery, fitting and a year of servicing. Where the $2,100 goes: • powered wheelchair: $1,900 • Fitting and training sessions: $100 • Delivery and set-up: $25 • First-year servicing plan: $75 Glad we found this place. - Diego
