Independence for Davide: stair-climbing aid
Davide needs a stair-climbing aid that the health system won't fund; the cost is $4,250.

I live with a rare neuromuscular condition. My occupational therapist at Padua General Hospital has assessed me and recommended a stair-climbing aid. The public scheme doesn't cover it, and the quote from the supplier is $4,250.
My current equipment is 10 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined me to home for 3 weeks.
With the right equipment I could get to the shops and visit friends. 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 $4,250 goes:
• stair-climbing aid: $3,800
• Fitting and training sessions: $95
• Delivery and set-up: $50
• First-year servicing plan: $305
