A stair-climbing aid for Rudi: help Rudi move freely
Rudi needs a stair-climbing aid that the health system will not fund; the cost is $700.

Rudi lives with muscular dystrophy. The occupational therapist at Denpasar General Hospital has assessed him and recommended a stair-climbing aid. The public scheme doesn't cover it, and the quote from the supplier is $700.
His current equipment is 14 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined him to home for 4 weeks.
With the right equipment Rudi could speak with the people around him. 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.
Funds go toward the equipment, delivery, fitting and a year of servicing.
Where the $700 goes:
• stair-climbing aid: $650
• Fitting and training sessions: $45
• Delivery and set-up: $5
Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.

Hope things get better soon, Kirana. Looking forward to the next update.
sending good thoughts. I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too.
