Aarón needs a stair-climbing aid - help us make it happen
A stair-climbing aid would give Aarón independence - we're $7,200 away.

Aarón lives with a spinal cord injury. The occupational therapist at the San Francisco Mobility Clinic has assessed him and recommended a stair-climbing aid. The public scheme doesn't cover it, and the quote from the supplier is $7,200.
His current equipment is 8 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined him to home for 8 weeks.
With the right equipment Aarón 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 $7,200 goes:
• Fitting and training sessions: $300
• stair-climbing aid: $6,500
• First-year servicing plan: $400
Thanks for reading all this.
