Orlando needs a powered wheelchair - help us make it happen
A powered wheelchair would give Orlando independence - we're $1,050 away.

Orlando lives with a spinal cord injury. The occupational therapist at the Makati Mobility Clinic has assessed him and recommended a powered wheelchair. The public scheme doesn't cover it, and the quote from the supplier is $1,050.
His current equipment is 8 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined him to home for 10 weeks.
With the right equipment Orlando could speak with the people around him. 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 $1,050 goes:
• powered wheelchair: $970
• Fitting and training sessions: $20
• Delivery and set-up: $20
• First-year servicing plan: $40
Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot.

Sending strength, Bryan. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. God bless.
Sending strength, Bryan. Shared it with a few friends. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. Thinking of Makati.
Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. Thinking of Makati.
