Mobility fund: powered wheelchair for Wilfredo in Dasmariñas
Help Wilfredo get a powered wheelchair so He can attend work interviews.
🇵🇭 Dasmariñas, Cavite, Philippines1,094 views
Wilfredo lives with profound hearing loss. The occupational therapist at the Dasmariñas Rehabilitation Centre has assessed him and recommended a powered wheelchair. The public scheme doesn't cover it, and the quote from the supplier is $1,400.
His current equipment is 13 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined him to home for 10 weeks.
With the right equipment Wilfredo could attend work interviews. It would change everyday life for the whole family.
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 $1,400 goes:
• powered wheelchair: $1,300
• Fitting and training sessions: $25
• Delivery and set-up: $30
• First-year servicing plan: $45
You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.

Stay strong. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. I went through something like this 11 years ago and strangers helped me out. All the best.
Sending good thoughts. I hope things turn around soon. Put this on a community board in Corpus Christi this morning.
so sorry you're going through this, Orlando. Hope this works out for you. I'll check back for the next update. Take care
you're not alone, Orlando. Hope you get there
