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.
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.
