A stair-climbing aid for Gianna: help me move freely
Help Gianna get a stair-climbing aid so She can get to the shops and visit friends.
🇺🇸 United States1,982 views
I live with muscular dystrophy. My occupational therapist at the Los Angeles 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 $3,400.
My current equipment is 13 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined me to home for 3 weeks.
With the right equipment I could get to the shops and visit friends. 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.
I'll pay the supplier directly from the funds, and I'll post a photo once the equipment is delivered.
Where the $3,400 goes:
• stair-climbing aid: $2,800
• Fitting and training sessions: $185
• Delivery and set-up: $210
• First-year servicing plan: $205
Every share and every dollar helps.
