Mobility fund: powered wheelchair for Paisley in Fort Collins

A powered wheelchair would give Paisley independence - we're $4,300 away.

Fort Collins
I live with profound hearing loss. My occupational therapist at the Fort Collins Mobility Clinic has assessed me and recommended a powered wheelchair. The public scheme doesn't cover it, and the quote from the supplier is $4,300. My current equipment is 10 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined me to home for 6 weeks. With the right equipment I could go to school independently. 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 $4,300 goes: • First-year servicing plan: $240 • powered wheelchair: $3,800 • Fitting and training sessions: $260 I'll pay this kindness forward the moment I'm able to. - Paisley
