Abuja

I live with a spinal cord injury. My occupational therapist at the Abuja Rehabilitation Centre has assessed me and recommended a stair-climbing aid. The public scheme doesn't cover it, and the quote from the supplier is $450. My current equipment is 15 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. Funds go toward the equipment, delivery, fitting and a year of servicing. Where the $450 goes: • stair-climbing aid: $380 • Fitting and training sessions: $40 • Delivery and set-up: $15 • First-year servicing plan: $15 Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself. - Festus

Updates from Festus

Good news. Because of your gifts ($207 in total) I met with the supplier and confirmed the amounts. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.
