Sarah needs a powered wheelchair - help us make it happen
A powered wheelchair would give Sarah independence - we're $4,300 away.
🇫🇷 France2,118 views
I live with low vision from retinitis pigmentosa. My occupational therapist at the Nice Rehabilitation Centre has assessed me and recommended a powered wheelchair. The public scheme doesn't cover it, and the quote from the supplier is $4,300.
My current equipment is 10 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined me to home for 12 weeks.
With the right equipment I could attend work interviews. 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 $4,300 goes:
• powered wheelchair: $3,850
• Fitting and training sessions: $155
• First-year servicing plan: $295
I hope life is good to you.

Take care, Sarah. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend. Blessings.
Good luck, Sarah. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust
Wishing you the best, Sarah. Shared it with a few friends. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. Love from Zapopan.
Wishing you peace, Sarah. Gave what I could, wish it was more. My father had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. Thinking of Nice.
