Pratik needs a powered wheelchair - help us make it happen
Help Pratik get a powered wheelchair so He can speak with the people around him.
🇮🇳 Ludhiana, Punjab, India641 views
I live with low vision from retinitis pigmentosa. My occupational therapist at the Ludhiana Mobility Clinic has assessed me and recommended a powered wheelchair. The public scheme doesn't cover it, and the quote from the supplier is $950.
My current equipment is 10 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined me to home for 4 weeks.
With the right equipment I could speak with the people around him. 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 $950 goes:
• Delivery and set-up: $30
• powered wheelchair: $860
• First-year servicing plan: $60
I hope life is good to you.

you're not alone. Hope the doctors have good news. Love from Los Angeles
Hope it all works out, Pratik. It takes guts to ask. Well done. God bless.
wishing you the best. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. Love from Jessore.
so sorry you're going through this, Pratik. Gave what I could, wish it was more.
Shared it with a few friends. We're a small family in Likoni but we're thinking of you.
Hope it all works out. This could happen to any of us. Greetings from Gothenburg
Thinking of you. It takes guts to ask. Well done. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like.
your post was clear and honest. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. Greetings from Quezon City
Take care. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend. Greetings from Seoul.
Best of luck, Pratik. Looking forward to the next update. All the best.
Sending love, Pratik. I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. I went through something like this 7 years ago and strangers helped me out.
wishing Pratik a smooth procedure and a full recovery. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. All the best
