Viktor lives with cerebral palsy. The occupational therapist at Yekaterinburg 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 $1,800.
His current equipment is 12 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined him to home for 7 weeks.
With the right equipment Viktor could go outside without waiting for someone to push. 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.
I'll pay the supplier directly from the funds, and I'll post a photo once the equipment is delivered.
Where the $1,800 goes:
• Fitting and training sessions: $60
• stair-climbing aid: $1,700
• Delivery and set-up: $40
Thanks for being kind about this.

A colleague of mine might know someone for this in Sverdlovsk Oblast. I'll ask around and let you know.
Is there anything that isn't money that would help Viktor?
Hope you get there. Thinking of Yekaterinburg
Hope things get better soon, Petro. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Take care.
Sending strength, Petro. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier.
Hope it all works out, Petro. Hope this works out for you. All the best
