A stair-climbing aid for Katherine: help Katherine move freely
Help Katherine get a stair-climbing aid so She can join the school sports day.
🇨🇦 Canada5,251 views
Katherine lives with a rare neuromuscular condition. The occupational therapist at the Victoria Rehabilitation Centre has assessed her and recommended a stair-climbing aid. The public scheme doesn't cover it, and the quote from the supplier is $6,400.
Her current equipment is 11 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined her to home for 4 weeks.
With the right equipment Katherine 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 $6,400 goes:
• Delivery and set-up: $60
• stair-climbing aid: $6,000
• First-year servicing plan: $340
Thank you so much.

Sending strength. Hope you get there. My cousin had a similar thing happen so this one hit home
You're not alone. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. Don't give up
Wishing you peace, Evelyn. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. I have a 5 year old who wants to send good wishes too. All the best.
