Independence for Dennis: stair-climbing aid

Dennis needs a stair-climbing aid that the health system won't fund; the cost is $550.

Accra
I live with a spinal cord injury. My occupational therapist at the Accra 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 $550. My current equipment is 10 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined me to home for 12 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. Funds go toward the equipment, delivery, fitting and a year of servicing. Where the $550 goes: • stair-climbing aid: $430 • Fitting and training sessions: $35 • Delivery and set-up: $25 • First-year servicing plan: $60 Thanks for being kind about this.

    is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Dennis

    • Dennis AgyemanOwnerAnswer

      Sure. The biggest one is stair-climbing aid, $430. The rest is in the list at the bottom of the post and I'll upload receipts as I pay each one. Ask me anything else.

          Hang in there, Dennis. Get well soon. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust. Thinking of Accra.
