Emmanuel lives with a spinal cord injury. The occupational therapist at Tema 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 $1,250. His current equipment is 9 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined him to home for 12 weeks. With the right equipment Emmanuel could get to the shops and visit friends. 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 $1,250 goes: • stair-climbing aid: $1,150 • Fitting and training sessions: $50 • Delivery and set-up: $20 • First-year servicing plan: $30 Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly. - Isaac
