A stair-climbing aid for Irene: help Irene move freely

Irene needs a stair-climbing aid that the health system will not fund; the cost is $2,700.

Irene lives with muscular dystrophy. The occupational therapist at Rosario General Hospital has assessed her and recommended a stair-climbing aid. The public scheme doesn't cover it, and the quote from the supplier is $2,700. Her current equipment is 11 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined her to home for 10 weeks. With the right equipment Irene could go to school independently. 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 $2,700 goes: • stair-climbing aid: $2,500 • Fitting and training sessions: $35 • Delivery and set-up: $40 • First-year servicing plan: $125 Thank you so much.
