Mobility fund: powered wheelchair for Winnie in Kakamega
Help Winnie get a powered wheelchair so She can attend work interviews.
🇰🇪 Kenya1,452 views
Winnie lives with a spinal cord injury. The occupational therapist at the Kakamega Rehabilitation Centre has assessed her and recommended a powered wheelchair. The public scheme doesn't cover it, and the quote from the supplier is $1,600.
Her current equipment is 15 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined her to home for 4 weeks.
With the right equipment Winnie 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 $1,600 goes:
• powered wheelchair: $1,450
• Fitting and training sessions: $60
• Delivery and set-up: $35
• First-year servicing plan: $55
With deep gratitude,
Odhiambo

Wishing you peace, Odhiambo. Hope the doctors have good news. I went through something like this 7 years ago and strangers helped me out.
