A stair-climbing aid for Sasithorn: help me move freely
A stair-climbing aid would give Sasithorn independence - we're $1,950 away.

I live with a spinal cord injury. My occupational therapist at the Nakhon Ratchasima 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 $1,950.
My current equipment is 15 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined me to home for 3 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 $1,950 goes:
• stair-climbing aid: $1,800
• Fitting and training sessions: $90
• Delivery and set-up: $30
• First-year servicing plan: $30
Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.
Updates from Sasithorn
Good news. Because of your gifts ($602 in total) the plan for first-year servicing plan is now scheduled. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.
46% there. I made the first payment toward stair-climbing aid. Thank you.
Good news. Because of your gifts ($1,189 in total) we've started the first stage. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.

Hope you get there. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. Greetings from Nottingham
