Fatima needs a stair-climbing aid - help us make it happen
Fatima needs a stair-climbing aid that the health system won't fund; the cost is $3,850.

Fatima lives with profound hearing loss. The occupational therapist at Móstoles General Hospital has assessed her and recommended a stair-climbing aid. The public scheme doesn't cover it, and the quote from the supplier is $3,850.
Her current equipment is 8 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined her to home for 7 weeks.
With the right equipment Fatima could get to the shops and visit friends. 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 $3,850 goes:
• stair-climbing aid: $3,450
• Fitting and training sessions: $190
• Delivery and set-up: $75
• First-year servicing plan: $135
Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.

can I help in a way that isn't money? I'm near Móstoles.
Thank you. If you're in Móstoles I'll say if something practical comes up. For now sharing this is great. Good question.
sending love, Reem. Hope you get there
Any update on how things are going in Móstoles?
Wishing you peace, Reem. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. After 12 years in social work I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Thinking of Móstoles.
Wishing you peace. Shared it with a few friends. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend. Love from Victoria
Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Fatima
The list at the bottom is the whole picture. stair-climbing aid is the biggest at $3,450. It helps to be asked.
A colleague of mine might know someone for this in Madrid. I'll ask around and let you know!
you're not alone, Reem. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Don't be hard on yourself for asking. Thinking of Móstoles!
Sending love, Reem. Gave what I could, wish it was more. I went through something like this 11 years ago and strangers helped me out.
Best of luck, Reem. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier.
Wishing Fatima a smooth procedure and a full recovery. After 13 years in farming I know how hard it's to ask for anything.
Wishing you peace. I hope things turn around soon. God bless.
Hope things get better soon, Reem. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. We're a small family in Agra but we're thinking of you.
sending good thoughts, Reem. Looking forward to the next update. I have a 6 year old who wants to send good wishes too. Blessings
Rooting for you. I hope things turn around soon. Please keep us posted. Love from Nairobi!
