Freiburg
I live with cerebral palsy. My occupational therapist at the Freiburg Mobility Clinic has assessed me and recommended a stair-climbing aid. The public scheme doesn't cover it, and the quote from the supplier is $8,400. My current equipment is 11 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined me to home for 10 weeks. With the right equipment I could speak with the people around him. 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 $8,400 goes: • Delivery and set-up: $120 • Fitting and training sessions: $270 • stair-climbing aid: $8,010 If you're reading this, thank you.

      I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. My cousin had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. Thinking of Freiburg.

      • sending love. Hope you get there. I hope April is when things finally get easier. Blessings.

        • Sending love, Stefan. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Thinking of Freiburg

          • Rooting for you, Stefan. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Wish I lived closer to Noida so I could bring a meal. Thinking of Freiburg.
