Umar needs a powered wheelchair - help us make it happen
A powered wheelchair would give Umar independence - we're $850 away.
🇵🇰 Pakistan2,296 views
Umar lives with an amputation below the knee. The occupational therapist at Lahore General Hospital has assessed him and recommended a powered wheelchair. The public scheme doesn't cover it, and the quote from the supplier is $850.
His current equipment is 9 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined him to home for 12 weeks.
With the right equipment Umar could get to the shops and visit friends. It would change everyday life for the whole family.
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 $850 goes:
• powered wheelchair: $720
• Fitting and training sessions: $50
• Delivery and set-up: $25
• First-year servicing plan: $55
Glad we found this place.

Sending strength, Bilal. Your post was clear and honest. We're a small family in Glasgow but we're thinking of you
Wishing you the best. Looking forward to the next update. Wish I lived closer to Olinda so I could bring a meal. Blessings.
Wishing you peace. This could happen to any of us. Thinking of Lahore
Thanks for sharing this. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Greetings from Badagry
Thinking of you and your family, Bilal. Hope this works out for you. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. Love from Joliet!
