Alina needs a stair-climbing aid - help us make it happen
Alina needs a stair-climbing aid that the health system won't fund; the cost is $1,700.

Alina lives with cerebral palsy. The occupational therapist at the Kyiv Rehabilitation Centre has assessed her and recommended a stair-climbing aid. The public scheme doesn't cover it, and the quote from the supplier is $1,700.
Her current equipment is 14 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined her to home for 12 weeks.
With the right equipment Alina 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.
Funds go toward the equipment, delivery, fitting and a year of servicing.
Where the $1,700 goes:
• stair-climbing aid: $1,550
• Fitting and training sessions: $60
• Delivery and set-up: $25
• First-year servicing plan: $65
I'll pay this kindness forward the moment I'm able to.

Thanks for sharing this, Denis. Shared it with a few friends. My neighbor in Winston-Salem donated after I showed her your page.
looking forward to the next update. Wish I lived closer to Bengaluru so I could bring a meal. God bless
Sending love, Denis. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Blessings.
Praying for you, Denis. Hope this works out for you. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money
Wishing you peace, Denis. Hope this works out for you. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too!
