A stair-climbing aid for Kevin: help Kevin move freely
Help Kevin get a stair-climbing aid so He can get to the shops and visit friends.
🇮🇪 Limerick, Munster, Ireland3,724 views
Kevin lives with a spinal cord injury. The occupational therapist at the Limerick Mobility Clinic has assessed him and recommended a stair-climbing aid. The public scheme doesn't cover it, and the quote from the supplier is $4,250.
His current equipment is 13 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined him to home for 12 weeks.
With the right equipment Kevin could get to the shops and visit friends. 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 $4,250 goes:
• Delivery and set-up: $125
• stair-climbing aid: $3,900
• First-year servicing plan: $225
Thank you so much.

Best of luck. It takes guts to ask. Well done. After 21 years in hospitality I know how hard it's to ask for anything. All the best
best of luck, Aoife. Shared it with a few friends. Thinking of Limerick.
this could happen to any of us. We're a small family in Epe but we're thinking of you.
