Iztapalapa

Sofía lives with muscular dystrophy. The occupational therapist at the Iztapalapa Mobility Clinic has assessed her and recommended a stair-climbing aid. The public scheme doesn't cover it, and the quote from the supplier is $1,700. Her current equipment is 15 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined her to home for 4 weeks. With the right equipment Sofía 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. Funds go toward the equipment, delivery, fitting and a year of servicing. Where the $1,700 goes: • stair-climbing aid: $1,450 • Fitting and training sessions: $70 • Delivery and set-up: $65 • First-year servicing plan: $115 If you're reading this, thank you.

Updates from Raúl

Quick update: $572 raised so far (34%). we've started the first stage. Receipts coming as soon as I have them.
Update from Iztapalapa: I met with the supplier and confirmed the amounts. We're at 24% of the goal. Thank you for believing in us.
Good news. Because of your gifts ($253 in total) the first invoice got paid this week. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.
