I live with cerebral palsy. My occupational therapist at Valencia General Hospital has assessed me and recommended a stair-climbing aid. The public scheme doesn't cover it, and the quote from the supplier is $4,850.
My current equipment is 9 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined me to home for 7 weeks.
With the right equipment I could join the school sports day. 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 $4,850 goes:
• stair-climbing aid: $4,300
• Fitting and training sessions: $180
• Delivery and set-up: $160
• First-year servicing plan: $210
Every share and every dollar helps.

Rooting for you, Araceli. I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. I'll check back for the next update. Take care
Keep going, Araceli. Hope this works out for you. We're a small family in Embakasi but we're thinking of you. Thinking of Valencia
Thanks for sharing this, Araceli. Get well soon. We're a small family in Wollongong but we're thinking of you. Thinking of Valencia
