Eldoret
Mussa lives with an amputation below the knee. The occupational therapist at the Eldoret Rehabilitation Centre has assessed him and recommended a powered wheelchair. The public scheme doesn't cover it, and the quote from the supplier is $100. His current equipment is 14 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined him to home for 7 weeks. With the right equipment Mussa 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 $100 goes: โ€ข First-year servicing plan: $40 โ€ข Delivery and set-up: $25 โ€ข Fitting and training sessions: $35 Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.

Updates from Apio

  1. 74% there. I made the first payment toward fitting and training sessions. Thank you.

  2. Good news. Because of your gifts ($44 in total) I made the first payment toward first-year servicing plan. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.

  • Sending love, Apio. Shared it with a few friends. Sent it to 30 people at work. Blessings

    • look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. Don't be hard on yourself for asking. Thinking of Eldoret.

      • Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Mussa.

        • Apio MremaOwnerAnswerPhoto verified

          First-year servicing plan is $40 of it. Everything else is listed in the story and nothing outside that list comes out of this page. I'll keep the page updated.

      • Keep going. This could happen to any of us. After 29 years in farming I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Blessings.

        • Sending good thoughts, Apio. Get well soon. My neighbor had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. Greetings from Benin City

          • Wishing you peace. I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. Take care
