Óscar needs a powered wheelchair - help us make it happen
Help Óscar get a powered wheelchair so He can attend work interviews.
🇲🇽 Veracruz, Mexico1,531 views
Óscar lives with muscular dystrophy. The occupational therapist at Coatzacoalcos General Hospital 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 11 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined him to home for 8 weeks.
With the right equipment Óscar 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.
Funds go toward the equipment, delivery, fitting and a year of servicing.
Where the $1,050 goes:
• powered wheelchair: $860
• Fitting and training sessions: $105
• Delivery and set-up: $25
• First-year servicing plan: $60
Every share and every dollar helps.

Stay strong, Santiago. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. It's not much but it's yours. Love from Üsküdar.
