A stair-climbing aid for Paloma: help me move freely
Help Paloma get a stair-climbing aid so She can attend work interviews.
🇨🇴 Colombia1,945 views
I live with cerebral palsy. My occupational therapist at Cali 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 $1,350.
My current equipment is 13 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined me to home for 8 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 $1,350 goes:
• Fitting and training sessions: $80
• stair-climbing aid: $1,250
• Delivery and set-up: $20
Every share and every dollar helps.

Thinking of you and your family, Paloma. Looking forward to the next update. I have a 6 year old who wants to send good wishes too. God bless
Thinking of you. Get well soon. I went through something like this 8 years ago and strangers helped me out. Thinking of Cali.
So sorry you're going through this, Paloma. Hope you get there. My husband and I read this together. Take care.
wishing you the best, Paloma. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. I have a 10 year old who wants to send good wishes too. Thinking of Cali.
Praying for you. Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick. Love from Sukkur.
good luck, Paloma. Hope the doctors have good news. I hope October is when things finally get easier. Thinking of Cali!
