Móstoles
Antonio lives with an amputation below the knee. The occupational therapist at the Móstoles 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 $6,700. His current equipment is 15 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined him to home for 4 weeks. With the right equipment Antonio could join the school sports day. 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 $6,700 goes: • stair-climbing aid: $6,250 • Fitting and training sessions: $135 • Delivery and set-up: $115 • First-year servicing plan: $200 Thank you for reading my story.

  • Thinking of you and your family, Adrián. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Love from Rosario.

    • I hope things turn around soon. Greetings from Ann Arbor.

      • Hang in there, Adrián. This could happen to any of us. Don't give up.

        • Sending good thoughts. I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. We're a small family in Adama but we're thinking of you. Thinking of Móstoles.

          • Hang in there, Adrián. This could happen to any of us. All the best.
