Metz
I live with profound hearing loss. My occupational therapist at Metz General Hospital has assessed me and recommended a powered wheelchair. The public scheme doesn't cover it, and the quote from the supplier is $3,850. My current equipment is 15 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined me to home for 3 weeks. With the right equipment I could join the school sports day. 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 $3,850 goes: • powered wheelchair: $3,350 • Fitting and training sessions: $230 • Delivery and set-up: $110 • First-year servicing plan: $160 Thanks for being kind about this.

        Sending good thoughts, Michel. I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. Wish I lived closer to Pasig so I could bring a meal.
