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

Kanokwan lives with profound hearing loss. The occupational therapist at Chiang Mai 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 $1,350.
Her current equipment is 12 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined her to home for 3 weeks.
With the right equipment Kanokwan 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.
Funds go toward the equipment, delivery, fitting and a year of servicing.
Where the $1,350 goes:
• stair-climbing aid: $1,150
• Fitting and training sessions: $80
• Delivery and set-up: $20
• First-year servicing plan: $100
Ask me anything below before you decide. I'd rather you were sure.

Hope you get there. Greetings from George
Wishing you peace. Hope the doctors have good news. Wish I lived closer to Palmira so I could bring a meal. God bless.
So sorry you're going through this, Ekkachai. I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side
Take care, Ekkachai. Your post was clear and honest. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend. All the best.
Keep going, Ekkachai. This could happen to any of us. It's not much but it's yours. Greetings from Thane
