Radom
I live with profound hearing loss. My occupational therapist at the Radom Mobility Clinic has assessed me and recommended a powered wheelchair. The public scheme doesn't cover it, and the quote from the supplier is $2,550. My current equipment is 11 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined me to home for 5 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. Funds go toward the equipment, delivery, fitting and a year of servicing. Where the $2,550 goes: • powered wheelchair: $2,300 • Fitting and training sessions: $80 • Delivery and set-up: $50 • First-year servicing plan: $120 If you can't give, please share this page. It does reach people.

  • Hope it all works out, Paulina. Your post was clear and honest. Take care.

    • Best of luck. Hope the doctors have good news. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust. Greetings from Catania.

      • Best of luck, Paulina. I hope things turn around soon. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like

        • Sending strength, Paulina. This could happen to any of us. I have a 11 year old who wants to send good wishes too. God bless.

          • look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. God bless.
