Independence for Bea: stair-climbing aid
Help Bea get a stair-climbing aid so She can go outside without waiting for someone to push.
🇵🇭 Makati, Metro Manila, Philippines1,369 views
I live with a spinal cord injury. My occupational therapist at the Makati 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 $650.
My current equipment is 12 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined me to home for 3 weeks.
With the right equipment I could go outside without waiting for someone to push. 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 $650 goes:
• stair-climbing aid: $530
• Fitting and training sessions: $45
• Delivery and set-up: $25
• First-year servicing plan: $50
I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen.

Gave what I could, wish it was more. Put this on a community board in Lviv this morning. Greetings from Lviv!
Hang in there. Get well soon. We're a small family in Guarulhos but we're thinking of you
Keep going. Shared this with my family. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Take care
Thinking of you, Bea. Shared this with my family. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. Take care.
