Sapna needs a powered wheelchair - help us make it happen
Sapna needs a powered wheelchair that the health system won't fund; the cost is $900.
🇮🇳 Ludhiana, Punjab, India991 views
I live with low vision from retinitis pigmentosa. My occupational therapist at Ludhiana General Hospital has assessed me and recommended a powered wheelchair. The public scheme doesn't cover it, and the quote from the supplier is $900.
My current equipment is 15 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.
I'll pay the supplier directly from the funds, and I'll post a photo once the equipment is delivered.
Where the $900 goes:
• powered wheelchair: $830
• Fitting and training sessions: $25
• Delivery and set-up: $10
• First-year servicing plan: $35
