Kraków
I live with an amputation below the knee. My occupational therapist at the Kraków 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 $3,200. My current equipment is 12 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined me to home for 7 weeks. With the right equipment I could go to school independently. 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. I'll pay the supplier directly from the funds, and I'll post a photo once the equipment is delivered. Where the $3,200 goes: • Fitting and training sessions: $65 • stair-climbing aid: $3,100 • Delivery and set-up: $35 You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it. - Tomasz

      Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Tomasz!

      • Tomasz Kamil NowakowskiOwnerAnswerID verified

        It's all in the list in the story. fitting and training sessions is the big one at $65, I'll post a receipt when it's paid. It helps to be asked.
