Heather lives with profound hearing loss. The occupational therapist at the Spokane 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 $5,850. Her current equipment is 10 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined her to home for 3 weeks. With the right equipment Heather could go to school independently. 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 $5,850 goes: • stair-climbing aid: $5,250 • First-year servicing plan: $300 • Fitting and training sessions: $300 Ask me anything below before you decide. I'd rather you were sure.

        is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Heather

        • Owen C. OliverOwnerAnswerPhoto verified

          Stair-climbing aid is $5,250 of it. Everything else is listed in the story and nothing outside that list comes out of this page. Good question.
