Independence for Anita: stair-climbing aid

Anita needs a stair-climbing aid that the health system won't fund; the cost is $1,250.

I live with muscular dystrophy. My occupational therapist at the Chennai 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 $1,250. My current equipment is 11 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined me to home for 10 weeks. With the right equipment I could attend work interviews. 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 $1,250 goes: • stair-climbing aid: $1,150 • Fitting and training sessions: $20 • Delivery and set-up: $35 • First-year servicing plan: $45 Thank you so much.

        Hang in there. Hope the doctors have good news. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Blessings
