Rajan lives with multiple sclerosis. The occupational therapist at the Nagpur Mobility Clinic has assessed him and recommended a powered wheelchair. The public scheme doesn't cover it, and the quote from the supplier is $1,000. His current equipment is 8 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined him to home for 7 weeks. With the right equipment Rajan could join the school sports day. 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 $1,000 goes: • powered wheelchair: $900 • Fitting and training sessions: $20 • Delivery and set-up: $15 • First-year servicing plan: $65 Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly. - Mansi
