A stair-climbing aid for Hana: help Hana move freely
Hana needs a stair-climbing aid that the health system won't fund; the cost is $3,400.
🇺🇸 Los Angeles, California, United States1,651 views
Hana lives with an amputation below the knee. The occupational therapist at the Los Angeles Mobility Clinic has assessed her and recommended a stair-climbing aid. The public scheme doesn't cover it, and the quote from the supplier is $3,400.
Her current equipment is 9 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined her to home for 4 weeks.
With the right equipment Hana 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 $3,400 goes:
• stair-climbing aid: $2,850
• Fitting and training sessions: $200
• Delivery and set-up: $140
• First-year servicing plan: $210
Ask me anything below before you decide. I'd rather you were sure.
