A stair-climbing aid for Radhika: help Radhika move freely
Radhika needs a stair-climbing aid that the health system won't fund; the cost is $1,500.
🇮🇳 Dwarka, Delhi, India2,132 views
Radhika lives with a rare neuromuscular condition. The occupational therapist at the Dwarka Rehabilitation Centre has assessed her and recommended a stair-climbing aid. The public scheme doesn't cover it, and the quote from the supplier is $1,500.
Her current equipment is 13 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined her to home for 7 weeks.
With the right equipment Radhika 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 $1,500 goes:
• stair-climbing aid: $1,450
• Fitting and training sessions: $40
• Delivery and set-up: $10
Thank you so much.

Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick. Thinking of Dwarka.
So sorry you're going through this, Chitra. I hope things turn around soon. Take care
Wishing you the best. Get well soon. My brother had a similar thing happen so this one hit home!
Hope things get better soon, Chitra. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Put this on a community board in Bristol this morning. Take care.
stay strong, Chitra. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. Blessings
