Aarón lives with multiple sclerosis. The occupational therapist at the Buenos Aires Mobility Clinic has assessed him and recommended a stair-climbing aid. The public scheme doesn't cover it, and the quote from the supplier is $1,250. His current equipment is 9 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined him to home for 6 weeks. With the right equipment Aarón could go outside without waiting for someone to push. It would change everyday life for the whole family. We've applied to two charities already and received small contributions; this campaign covers the rest. I'll pay the supplier directly from the funds, and I'll post a photo once the equipment is delivered. Where the $1,250 goes: • First-year servicing plan: $80 • stair-climbing aid: $1,150 • Delivery and set-up: $20 I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.

  • Thanks for sharing this, Irene. Hope this works out for you.

    • Rooting for you. Gave what I could, wish it was more. I'm in engineering myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you. Thinking of Buenos Aires

        You're not alone, Irene. Shared it with a few friends. It's not much but it's yours!

        • I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day. Greetings from Bucaramanga.

          • Wishing you the best, Irene. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. Love from Jakarta Barat.
