Mobility fund: powered wheelchair for Zahra in Jakarta Selatan
A powered wheelchair would give Zahra independence - we're $950 away.
🇮🇩 Jakarta Selatan, DKI Jakarta, Indonesia416 views
Zahra lives with a spinal cord injury. The occupational therapist at the Jakarta Selatan Mobility Clinic has assessed her and recommended a powered wheelchair. The public scheme doesn't cover it, and the quote from the supplier is $950.
Her current equipment is 13 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined her to home for 6 weeks.
With the right equipment Zahra could go outside without waiting for someone to push. 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 $950 goes:
• powered wheelchair: $830
• Fitting and training sessions: $50
• Delivery and set-up: $25
• First-year servicing plan: $45
Thank you for reading my story.

Small update. $373 so far, the plan for first-year servicing plan is now scheduled.
Thank you all. We're at 1% now ($5). I'm honestly stunned. I met with the supplier and confirmed the amounts.

Take care, Hesti. Gave what I could, wish it was more. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. Thinking of Jakarta Selatan
