Lily lives with a rare neuromuscular condition. The occupational therapist at the Las Cruces Mobility Clinic has assessed her and recommended a stair-climbing aid. The public scheme doesn't cover it, and the quote from the supplier is $4,900. Her current equipment is 15 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined her to home for 10 weeks. With the right equipment Lily could attend work interviews. 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 $4,900 goes: • First-year servicing plan: $350 • Fitting and training sessions: $125 • stair-climbing aid: $4,425 You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.
