A stair-climbing aid for Bambang: help me move freely
A stair-climbing aid would give Bambang independence - we are $400 away.
🇮🇩 Jakarta Selatan, DKI Jakarta, Indonesia1,017 views
I live with low vision from retinitis pigmentosa. My occupational therapist at the Jakarta Selatan 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 $400.
My current equipment is 12 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined me to home for 4 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.
Funds go toward the equipment, delivery, fitting and a year of servicing.
Where the $400 goes:
• Fitting and training sessions: $25
• Delivery and set-up: $25
• stair-climbing aid: $350
Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.

Looking forward to the next update. My father had a similar thing happen so this one hit home
Thinking of you. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. I went through something like this 8 years ago and strangers helped me out. Love from Entebbe.

So sorry you're going through this. Wishing Bambang a smooth procedure and a full recovery. After 20 years in customer support I know how hard it's to ask for anything. All the best.
