Help Valerio get a powered wheelchair so He can attend work interviews.

I live with multiple sclerosis. My occupational therapist at the Parma Mobility Clinic has assessed me and recommended a powered wheelchair. The public scheme doesn't cover it, and the quote from the supplier is $450.
My current equipment is 10 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined me to home for 6 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 $450 goes:
• First-year servicing plan: $250
• Fitting and training sessions: $90
• Delivery and set-up: $110
Thanks for being kind about this.

Hang in there. Shared this with my family. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. God bless.
Thanks for sharing this. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day
