Declan lives with a rare neuromuscular condition. The occupational therapist at Newport General Hospital has assessed him and recommended a stair-climbing aid. The public scheme doesn't cover it, and the quote from the supplier is $4,100.
His current equipment is 14 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined him to home for 3 weeks.
With the right equipment Declan could attend work interviews. 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.
Funds go toward the equipment, delivery, fitting and a year of servicing.
Where the $4,100 goes:
• stair-climbing aid: $3,650
• Delivery and set-up: $145
• Fitting and training sessions: $305
Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot.

Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Declan
Sending good thoughts. Get well soon. We're a small family in Latina but we're thinking of you.
