Esteban lives with cerebral palsy. The occupational therapist at the Monterrey Mobility Clinic has assessed him and recommended a stair-climbing aid. The public scheme doesn't cover it, and the quote from the supplier is $1,050. His current equipment is 12 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined him to home for 12 weeks. With the right equipment Esteban could join the school sports day. 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 $1,050 goes: • First-year servicing plan: $95 • stair-climbing aid: $850 • Fitting and training sessions: $105 Thank you so much. - Miguel
