Tumusiime needs a powered wheelchair - help us make it happen
Help Tumusiime get a powered wheelchair so He can join the school sports day.
🇰🇪 01079, Thika, Kiambu, Kenya812 views
I live with muscular dystrophy. My occupational therapist at the Thika Mobility Clinic has assessed me and recommended a powered wheelchair. The public scheme doesn't cover it, and the quote from the supplier is $100.
My current equipment is 12 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined me to home for 5 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.
Funds go toward the equipment, delivery, fitting and a year of servicing.
Where the $100 goes:
• Delivery and set-up: $15
• First-year servicing plan: $60
• Fitting and training sessions: $25
Thank you so much.

Wanted to say thank you properly. 55% funded and I made the first payment toward fitting and training sessions.
Thank you all. We're at 55% now ($55). I'm honestly stunned. the first invoice got paid this week.
