A stair-climbing aid for Jennifer: help me move freely

Jennifer needs a stair-climbing aid that the health system won't fund; the cost is $500.

I live with a spinal cord injury. My occupational therapist at the Anaheim 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 $500. My current equipment is 10 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined me to home for 5 weeks. With the right equipment I could attend work interviews. 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 $500 goes: • Fitting and training sessions: $135 • First-year servicing plan: $210 • Delivery and set-up: $155 Glad we found this place. - Jennifer
