Wheelchair for a Paralyzed Person

Sivanna is a carpenter by profession. He lives with his wife and 2 kids, studying 3rd and 1st standard respectively. Few months back, Sivanna fell down from a tree and was paralyzed from neck down. He has been under treatment at St.Johns Hospital, Bangalore for last few months and is now able to move his right hand a little. Doctors are trying to at least get his right hand fully functional.

He knows tailoring and so, the hospital’s social work department is planning to give him a power run tailoring machine. With some help from his wife, he should be able to take up tailoring for a living. Shivanna’s family is very poor, his brother is currently taking care of his treatment expenses. A well-wisher has promised to fund the tailoring machine.

They are now looking for some help in buying a wheel chair so that he can move around. Our contact person at the social work department would be able to procure a refurbished wheel chair for Rs.8000. Shivanna is getting discharged from the hospital on February 5th, 2015 and we are trying to get the wheel chair ready before that.

MicroCharity approves fund request of Rs.8000.

Fund Raising closed for this cause.  Rs.8000 is raised from 6 micro donations in 5 days. We will be buying the wheelchair and passing to Shivanna shortly.
