Mehwish lives with low vision from retinitis pigmentosa. The occupational therapist at the Faisalabad 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 $550. Her current equipment is 8 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined her to home for 7 weeks. With the right equipment Mehwish could go outside without waiting for someone to push. 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 $550 goes: • stair-climbing aid: $440 • Fitting and training sessions: $45 • Delivery and set-up: $10 • First-year servicing plan: $55 Thank you for reading my story.

Updates from Dua

  1. Quick update: $494 raised so far (90%). I made the first payment toward fitting and training sessions. Receipts coming as soon as I have them.

  2. Thank you all. We're at 36% now ($199). I'm honestly stunned. the plan for stair-climbing aid is now scheduled.
