A stair-climbing aid for Esi: help me move freely
A stair-climbing aid would give Esi independence - we're $1,300 away.

I live with muscular dystrophy. My occupational therapist at the Accra Mobility Clinic has assessed me and recommended a stair-climbing aid. The public scheme doesn't cover it, and the quote from the supplier is $1,300.
My current equipment is 9 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined me to home for 8 weeks.
With the right equipment I could go to school independently. 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 $1,300 goes:
• stair-climbing aid: $1,200
• Fitting and training sessions: $30
• Delivery and set-up: $10
• First-year servicing plan: $60
I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.

reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Thinking of Accra.
Wishing you the best. Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Thinking of Accra.
