A stair-climbing aid for Isha: help me move freely
Isha needs a stair-climbing aid that the health system won't fund; the cost is $1,350.

I live with a spinal cord injury. My occupational therapist at Hubballi General Hospital has assessed me and recommended a stair-climbing aid. The public scheme doesn't cover it, and the quote from the supplier is $1,350.
My current equipment is 11 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined me to home for 10 weeks.
With the right equipment I could go outside without waiting for someone to push. 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 $1,350 goes:
• stair-climbing aid: $1,250
• Fitting and training sessions: $25
• Delivery and set-up: $25
• First-year servicing plan: $50
With deep gratitude,
Isha
