Independence for Anastasia: stair-climbing aid
Anastasia needs a stair-climbing aid that the health system won't fund; the cost is $150.
🇺🇦 Ukraine1,509 views
Anastasia lives with low vision from retinitis pigmentosa. The occupational therapist at Dnipro 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 $150.
Her current equipment is 9 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined her to home for 8 weeks.
With the right equipment Anastasia 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 $150 goes:
• First-year servicing plan: $40
• Fitting and training sessions: $70
• Delivery and set-up: $40
If you're reading this, thank you.

Sending strength. I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. Don't give up. God bless
wishing you peace, Irina. Hope the doctors have good news.
I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Sent it to 22 people at work
