Mykola lives with a spinal cord injury. The occupational therapist at the Moscow Mobility Clinic has assessed him and recommended a stair-climbing aid. The public scheme doesn't cover it, and the quote from the supplier is $2,500. His current equipment is 14 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined him to home for 6 weeks. With the right equipment Mykola could go to school independently. 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 $2,500 goes: • stair-climbing aid: $2,350 • Delivery and set-up: $65 • Fitting and training sessions: $85 I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen.
