Mobility fund: powered wheelchair for Saraswathi in Nagpur
Help Saraswathi get a powered wheelchair so She can get to the shops and visit friends.
🇮🇳 India2,161 views
I live with a spinal cord injury. My occupational therapist at the Nagpur Rehabilitation Centre has assessed me and recommended a powered wheelchair. The public scheme doesn't cover it, and the quote from the supplier is $650.
My current equipment is 8 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined me to home for 6 weeks.
With the right equipment I could get to the shops and visit friends. 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.
I'll pay the supplier directly from the funds, and I'll post a photo once the equipment is delivered.
Where the $650 goes:
• Fitting and training sessions: $50
• Delivery and set-up: $15
• powered wheelchair: $585
I hope life is good to you.
