Help Robert get a stair-climbing aid so He can go outside without waiting for someone to push.

Robert lives with muscular dystrophy. The occupational therapist at the San Francisco Rehabilitation Centre has assessed him and recommended a stair-climbing aid. The public scheme doesn't cover it, and the quote from the supplier is $4,500. His current equipment is 11 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined him to home for 10 weeks. With the right equipment Robert could go outside without waiting for someone to push. 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 $4,500 goes: • stair-climbing aid: $4,000 • First-year servicing plan: $340 • Fitting and training sessions: $160 With deep gratitude, Jose
