Mobility fund: powered wheelchair for Milena in Kharkiv

Milena needs a powered wheelchair that the health system won't fund; the cost is $200.

Milena lives with a rare neuromuscular condition. The occupational therapist at the Kharkiv Mobility Clinic has assessed her and recommended a powered wheelchair. The public scheme doesn't cover it, and the quote from the supplier is $200. Her current equipment is 13 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined her to home for 6 weeks. With the right equipment Milena could join the school sports day. 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 $200 goes: • Delivery and set-up: $25 • Fitting and training sessions: $85 • First-year servicing plan: $90 If you can't give, please share this page. It does reach people.

                Hope things get better soon, Serhiy. Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Love from Coventry.
