Cristina lives with cerebral palsy. The occupational therapist at the Cluj-Napoca Mobility Clinic has assessed her and recommended a stair-climbing aid. The public scheme doesn't cover it, and the quote from the supplier is $2,200. Her current equipment is 9 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined her to home for 8 weeks. With the right equipment Cristina could speak with the people around her. 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 $2,200 goes: • stair-climbing aid: $1,950 • Fitting and training sessions: $85 • Delivery and set-up: $25 • First-year servicing plan: $140 If you can't give, please share this page. It does reach people.
