Raymond needs a powered wheelchair - help us make it happen
Raymond needs a powered wheelchair that the health system won't fund; the cost is $6,100.
🇦🇺 Sydney, New South Wales, Australia4,748 views
I live with cerebral palsy. My occupational therapist at the Sydney Mobility Clinic has assessed me and recommended a powered wheelchair. The public scheme doesn't cover it, and the quote from the supplier is $6,100.
My current equipment is 15 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined me to home for 10 weeks.
With the right equipment I could go to school independently. 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 $6,100 goes:
• First-year servicing plan: $185
• powered wheelchair: $5,750
• Fitting and training sessions: $165
Glad we found this place.

Thinking of you, Raymond. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. All the best.
Sending strength, Raymond. This could happen to any of us. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double.
Wishing you peace, Raymond. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. My neighbor in Sydney donated after I showed her your page. Thinking of Sydney.
Sending love, Raymond. Shared it with a few friends. Don't give up.
Rooting for you. Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust. Blessings.
