Nora needs a powered wheelchair - help us make it happen

Help Nora get a powered wheelchair so She can go to school independently.

Springfield
Nora lives with a rare neuromuscular condition. The occupational therapist at the Springfield Rehabilitation Centre has assessed her and recommended a powered wheelchair. The public scheme doesn't cover it, and the quote from the supplier is $3,900. Her current equipment is 12 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined her to home for 6 weeks. With the right equipment Nora could go to school independently. 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 $3,900 goes: • powered wheelchair: $3,200 • Fitting and training sessions: $330 • Delivery and set-up: $180 • First-year servicing plan: $190 With deep gratitude, Benjamin
