Mobility fund: powered wheelchair for Zoe in Denver
Zoe needs a powered wheelchair that the health system won't fund; the cost is $6,850.
🇺🇸 Denver, Colorado, United States4,669 views
Zoe lives with cerebral palsy. The occupational therapist at the Denver Mobility Clinic has assessed her and recommended a powered wheelchair. The public scheme doesn't cover it, and the quote from the supplier is $6,850.
Her current equipment is 9 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined her to home for 6 weeks.
With the right equipment Zoe 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.
I'll pay the supplier directly from the funds, and I'll post a photo once the equipment is delivered.
Where the $6,850 goes:
• powered wheelchair: $6,500
• First-year servicing plan: $155
• Fitting and training sessions: $195
Thanks for reading all this.

Take care, Santiago. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Love from Cambridge.
Hope it all works out, Santiago. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Take care.
Sending strength, Santiago. Shared this with my family
