Biratnagar
I live with low vision from retinitis pigmentosa. My occupational therapist at Biratnagar General Hospital has assessed me and recommended a powered wheelchair. The public scheme doesn't cover it, and the quote from the supplier is $1,200. My current equipment is 9 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined me to home for 8 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 $1,200 goes: • powered wheelchair: $1,150 • Fitting and training sessions: $25 • Delivery and set-up: $15 • First-year servicing plan: $10 If you're reading this, thank you. - Rajesh

Updates from Rajesh

  1. Quick update: $680 raised so far (57%). the plan for first-year servicing plan is now scheduled. Receipts coming as soon as I have them.

  2. Quick update: $255 raised so far (21%). we've started the first stage. Receipts coming as soon as I have them.

  3. Good news. Because of your gifts ($185 in total) I met with the supplier and confirmed the amounts. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.
