A stair-climbing aid for Afia: help me move freely

A stair-climbing aid would give Afia independence - we're $1,050 away.

I live with multiple sclerosis. My occupational therapist at the Accra Rehabilitation Centre has assessed me and recommended a stair-climbing aid. The public scheme doesn't cover it, and the quote from the supplier is $1,050. My current equipment is 15 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined me to home for 10 weeks. With the right equipment I could go outside without waiting for someone to push. It would change my everyday life and my ability to work from home. 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 $1,050 goes: • Delivery and set-up: $25 • stair-climbing aid: $980 • Fitting and training sessions: $45 Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly. - Afia
