Help Noah get a powered wheelchair so He can attend work interviews.
🇺🇸 Sacramento, California, United States1,031 views
I live with a spinal cord injury. My occupational therapist at the Sacramento Rehabilitation Centre has assessed me and recommended a powered wheelchair. The public scheme doesn't cover it, and the quote from the supplier is $3,350.
My current equipment is 9 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined me to home for 12 weeks.
With the right equipment I could attend work interviews. 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.
Funds go toward the equipment, delivery, fitting and a year of servicing.
Where the $3,350 goes:
• Delivery and set-up: $65
• powered wheelchair: $3,100
• Fitting and training sessions: $185
I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.
