Latina
I live with low vision from retinitis pigmentosa. My occupational therapist at the Latina Mobility Clinic has assessed me and recommended a stair-climbing aid. The public scheme doesn't cover it, and the quote from the supplier is $3,700. My current equipment is 10 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined me to home for 7 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. I'll pay the supplier directly from the funds, and I'll post a photo once the equipment is delivered. Where the $3,700 goes: • stair-climbing aid: $3,500 • Fitting and training sessions: $90 • First-year servicing plan: $110 You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.

      Hope things get better soon, Giuseppe. It takes guts to ask. Well done. All the best.

      • Usman Ahmed Lodhi

        Thanks for sharing this, Giuseppe. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Love from Obuasi.

        • Delilah D. Norwood

          hang in there, Giuseppe. I hope things turn around soon. I went through something like this 8 years ago and strangers helped me out.

          • Chitra H. Venkatesh

            Thanks for sharing this. Wishing Giuseppe a smooth procedure and a full recovery. It's not much but it's yours. Love from Lagos
