Variety Week: Amara needs her independence
Description
October 20, 2023
A new power wheelchair will help give Amara the independence she needs, but additional safety features for her new chair are not covered by government funding. And each day she has to wait to receive her new chair is a day where she misses out on crucial developmental time.
