Anand needs a stair-climbing aid - help us make it happen
A stair-climbing aid would give Anand independence - we're $1,050 away.

I live with muscular dystrophy. My occupational therapist at the Ludhiana 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 $1,050.
My current equipment is 13 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined me to home for 8 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 $1,050 goes:
• stair-climbing aid: $960
• Fitting and training sessions: $30
• Delivery and set-up: $15
• First-year servicing plan: $45
Ask me anything below before you decide. I'd rather you were sure.

Hope things get better soon, Anand. This could happen to any of us. After 27 years in engineering I know how hard it's to ask for anything.
Hang in there, Anand. I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it.
