Dipu needs a stair-climbing aid - help us make it happen
Dipu needs a stair-climbing aid that the health system won't fund; the cost is $700.
🇮🇳 Mysuru, Karnataka, India1,240 views
Dipu lives with profound hearing loss. The occupational therapist at the Mysuru Rehabilitation Centre has assessed him and recommended a stair-climbing aid. The public scheme doesn't cover it, and the quote from the supplier is $700.
His current equipment is 13 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined him to home for 8 weeks.
With the right equipment Dipu could join the school sports day. 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 $700 goes:
• stair-climbing aid: $590
• Fitting and training sessions: $40
• Delivery and set-up: $20
• First-year servicing plan: $50
