Peyton needs a powered wheelchair - help us make it happen
Help Peyton get a powered wheelchair so She can go outside without waiting for someone to push.
🇺🇸 San Francisco, California, United States3,105 views
Peyton lives with muscular dystrophy. The occupational therapist at San Francisco General Hospital has assessed her and recommended a powered wheelchair. The public scheme doesn't cover it, and the quote from the supplier is $2,800.
Her current equipment is 8 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined her to home for 12 weeks.
With the right equipment Peyton could go outside without waiting for someone to push. 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 $2,800 goes:
• Fitting and training sessions: $330
• powered wheelchair: $2,250
• Delivery and set-up: $220
I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.

Rooting for you, Aria. I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side.
Sending love, Aria. It takes guts to ask. Well done. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like
is there anything that isn't money that would help Peyton?
Thank you. If you're in San Francisco I'll say if something practical comes up. For now sharing this is great. Thanks for looking so closely.
Hope it all works out. Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too.
Rooting for you, Aria. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day. God bless.
Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Peyton
The list at the bottom is the whole picture. fitting and training sessions is the biggest at $330. It helps to be asked.
this could happen to any of us. I hope September is when things finally get easier. All the best.
Hang in there. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Please keep us posted. God bless
Praying for you, Aria. Hope you get there. Blessings.
I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Thinking of San Francisco.
