Hi @bunnygirl
Thanks for your post and welcome to our community. Charity shops are a good idea, I would also try eBay. You can sometimes get ex-showroom models on there.

Hi @bunnygirl

Pre-owned wheelchairs are regularly advertised on Ebay and that vis probably where you will find the biggest choice.  

Obviously it is important to get the correct wheelchair for your nephew's needs, this factsheet might help you choose:

Maybe it would be worth contacting Disabled Equipment Sent Overseas to see if they know of any projects in your nephews home country which could assess him  and supply a suitable wheelchair  http://www.desouk.org/contact/
