A stair-climbing aid for Pedro: help Pedro move freely
A stair-climbing aid would give Pedro independence - we are $1,400 away.
🇵🇭 Metro Manila, Philippines1,826 views
Pedro lives with muscular dystrophy. The occupational therapist at the Caloocan 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 $1,400.
His current equipment is 10 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined him to home for 7 weeks.
With the right equipment Pedro could get to the shops and visit friends. 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 $1,400 goes:
• stair-climbing aid: $1,300
• Fitting and training sessions: $35
• Delivery and set-up: $10
• First-year servicing plan: $55
Every share and every dollar helps.

Stay strong, Josefina. Hope the doctors have good news. Thinking of Caloocan
Wishing you the best, Josefina. Gave what I could, wish it was more. All the best
sending love. Shared this with my family. I'm in customer support myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you.
Hope you get there. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. Love from Kobe.
Thanks for sharing this, Josefina. Hope this works out for you. God bless.
thanks for sharing this, Josefina. Shared it with a few friends. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Take care.
Best of luck, Josefina. Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick. I have a 15 year old who wants to send good wishes too. God bless
thinking of you and your family. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Thinking of Caloocan.
