It's amazing what a browser search will turn up...
If you are living here in the States, there is an app for NextDoor. These are nearby neighborhoods in your area, and I have seen people requesting and even giving away wheelchairs. If you are in the Philippines, I don't know if NextDoor has been launched there yet.
When we have a need of special equipment we check with our own local agencies.
I would start with MD office and ask for outreach to Social Services in your area and wish you the best of luck.
