I live with multiple sclerosis. My occupational therapist at Málaga 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 $2,400.
My current equipment is 14 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined me to home for 12 weeks.
With the right equipment I could go to school independently. 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 $2,400 goes:
• Fitting and training sessions: $170
• Delivery and set-up: $110
• stair-climbing aid: $2,120
I hope life is good to you.

sending good thoughts, Mauricio. Shared it with a few friends
Sending love. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. My sister had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. All the best.
Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. Thinking of Málaga.
Praying for you, Mauricio. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest.
I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. Sent it to 9 people at work. All the best.
Wishing you the best, Mauricio. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. God bless.
It takes guts to ask. Well done. Wish I lived closer to Mombasa so I could bring a meal. Take care
Gave what I could, wish it was more. My neighbor in Montego Bay donated after I showed her your page.
Thinking of you and your family, Mauricio. Shared this with my family. It's not much but it's yours. Love from Medellín
