Independence for Daniel: stair-climbing aid
Help Daniel get a stair-climbing aid so He can go outside without waiting for someone to push.
Anywhere in the world737 views
Daniel lives with a spinal cord injury. The occupational therapist at the Fort Portal Mobility Clinic has assessed him and recommended a stair-climbing aid. The public scheme doesn't cover it, and the quote from the supplier is $850.
His current equipment is 12 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined him to home for 8 weeks.
With the right equipment Daniel could go outside without waiting for someone to push. 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 $850 goes:
• stair-climbing aid: $750
• Fitting and training sessions: $30
• Delivery and set-up: $30
• First-year servicing plan: $40
Thanks for reading all this.

It takes guts to ask. Well done. I have a 8 year old who wants to send good wishes too
Sending good thoughts, Omondi. Looking forward to the next update. It's not much but it's yours.
best of luck, Omondi. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. I'll check back for the next update.
Hope things get better soon. Wishing Daniel a smooth procedure and a full recovery
This could happen to any of us. It's not much but it's yours. Greetings from San Francisco.
