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 If you're reading this, thank you. - Sapna
