Rafaela needs a powered wheelchair - help us make it happen
A powered wheelchair would give Rafaela independence - we're $200 away.
🇧🇷 Curitiba, Paraná, Brazil522 views
I live with a rare neuromuscular condition. My occupational therapist at the Curitiba Rehabilitation Centre has assessed me and recommended a powered wheelchair. The public scheme doesn't cover it, and the quote from the supplier is $200.
My current equipment is 8 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined me to home for 5 weeks.
With the right equipment I could speak with the people around her. 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 $200 goes:
• Fitting and training sessions: $100
• Delivery and set-up: $40
• First-year servicing plan: $60
I hope life is good to you.

Hang in there, Rafaela. Shared it with a few friends. Take care.
Sending strength, Rafaela. Shared it with a few friends. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. Take care
