Rodrigo needs a powered wheelchair - help us make it happen
Rodrigo needs a powered wheelchair that the health system will not fund; the cost is $550.

Rodrigo lives with cerebral palsy. The occupational therapist at the Philadelphia Rehabilitation Centre has assessed him and recommended a powered wheelchair. The public scheme doesn't cover it, and the quote from the supplier is $550.
His current equipment is 13 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined him to home for 8 weeks.
With the right equipment Rodrigo could speak with the people around him. 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.
Funds go toward the equipment, delivery, fitting and a year of servicing.
Where the $550 goes:
• Delivery and set-up: $190
• Fitting and training sessions: $145
• First-year servicing plan: $215
You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.
