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

I live with low vision from retinitis pigmentosa. My occupational therapist at the San Antonio 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 $2,950. My current equipment is 13 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined me to home for 12 weeks. With the right equipment I could speak with the people around him. 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 $2,950 goes: • stair-climbing aid: $2,300 • Fitting and training sessions: $250 • Delivery and set-up: $230 • First-year servicing plan: $170 Thanks for reading all this.
