Nanami needs a powered wheelchair - help us make it happen
A powered wheelchair would give Nanami independence - we're $4,300 away.
🇯🇵 Kawasaki, Kanagawa, Japan260 views
I live with multiple sclerosis. My occupational therapist at the Kawasaki Rehabilitation Centre has assessed me and recommended a powered wheelchair. The public scheme doesn't cover it, and the quote from the supplier is $4,300.
My current equipment is 14 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined me to home for 6 weeks.
With the right equipment I could go to school independently. 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.
Funds go toward the equipment, delivery, fitting and a year of servicing.
Where the $4,300 goes:
• powered wheelchair: $3,900
• Fitting and training sessions: $120
• Delivery and set-up: $60
• First-year servicing plan: $220
Every share and every dollar helps.

it takes guts to ask. Well done. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. God bless!
How is Nanami doing now?
Take care. It takes guts to ask. Well done. My neighbor in Guarulhos donated after I showed her your page. All the best.
Praying for you. Wishing Nanami a smooth procedure and a full recovery. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. All the best.
Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Nanami
It's all in the list in the story. powered wheelchair is the big one at $3,900, I'll post a receipt when it's paid. Let me know if you want more detail.
