Aaron needs a stair-climbing aid - help us make it happen
A stair-climbing aid would give Aaron independence - we're $7,350 away.

I live with a spinal cord injury. My occupational therapist at the Arlington 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 $7,350.
My current equipment is 14 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined me to home for 6 weeks.
With the right equipment I could go outside without waiting for someone to push. 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 $7,350 goes:
• stair-climbing aid: $6,750
• Fitting and training sessions: $320
• Delivery and set-up: $90
• First-year servicing plan: $190
I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen.

Hope things get better soon, Aaron. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. I hope October is when things finally get easier
