Colton needs a stair-climbing aid - help us make it happen
Colton needs a stair-climbing aid that the health system won't fund; the cost is $7,500.
🇺🇸 United States4,339 views
Colton lives with a rare neuromuscular condition. The occupational therapist at the Macon 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 $7,500.
His current equipment is 11 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined him to home for 4 weeks.
With the right equipment Colton could attend work interviews. 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 $7,500 goes:
• stair-climbing aid: $7,250
• First-year servicing plan: $155
• Delivery and set-up: $95
I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen.

Wishing you peace, Lucas. Get well soon. Love from Munich.
Thinking of you, Lucas. Shared this with my family. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. God bless.
You're not alone. Hope you get there. Thinking of Macon.
Wishing Colton a smooth procedure and a full recovery. I hope April is when things finally get easier. Blessings!
