Solène needs a powered wheelchair - help us make it happen
A powered wheelchair would give Solène independence - we're $650 away.
🇫🇷 Île-de-France, France155 views
I live with a spinal cord injury. My occupational therapist at the Paris Rehabilitation Centre has assessed me and recommended a powered wheelchair. The public scheme doesn't cover it, and the quote from the supplier is $650.
My current equipment is 9 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined me to home for 10 weeks.
With the right equipment I could join the school sports day. 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 $650 goes:
• First-year servicing plan: $280
• Fitting and training sessions: $290
• Delivery and set-up: $80
Glad we found this place.
