Alexandre lives with a rare neuromuscular condition. The occupational therapist at the Marseille 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 $7,750. His current equipment is 12 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined him to home for 12 weeks. With the right equipment Alexandre could attend work interviews. 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. Funds go toward the equipment, delivery, fitting and a year of servicing. Where the $7,750 goes: • stair-climbing aid: $7,250 • Fitting and training sessions: $230 • Delivery and set-up: $70 • First-year servicing plan: $200 Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself. - Vincent
