A stair-climbing aid for Marta: help me move freely
Help Marta get a stair-climbing aid so She can attend work interviews.
🇪🇸 Spain3,656 views
I live with a spinal cord injury. My occupational therapist at Alcalá de Henares General Hospital has assessed me and recommended a stair-climbing aid. The public scheme doesn't cover it, and the quote from the supplier is $4,650.
My current equipment is 14 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined me to home for 5 weeks.
With the right equipment I could attend work interviews. 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.
Funds go toward the equipment, delivery, fitting and a year of servicing.
Where the $4,650 goes:
• stair-climbing aid: $4,050
• Fitting and training sessions: $260
• Delivery and set-up: $140
• First-year servicing plan: $200
Every share and every dollar helps.

This could happen to any of us. My neighbor had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. Thinking of Alcalá de Henares.
is there anything that isn't money that would help Marta?
Hope it all works out, Marta. Shared this with my family. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. Take care.
