A stair-climbing aid for Pari: help me move freely
Pari needs a stair-climbing aid that the health system won't fund; the cost is $2,500.

I live with low vision from retinitis pigmentosa. My occupational therapist at the Laval Rehabilitation Centre has assessed me and recommended a stair-climbing aid. The public scheme doesn't cover it, and the quote from the supplier is $2,500.
My current equipment is 12 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined me to home for 5 weeks.
With the right equipment I could speak with the people around her. 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 $2,500 goes:
• stair-climbing aid: $2,150
• Delivery and set-up: $150
• Fitting and training sessions: $200
I hope life is good to you.
