Independence for Dolores: stair-climbing aid

A stair-climbing aid would give Dolores independence - we're $1,650 away.

Dolores lives with low vision from retinitis pigmentosa. The occupational therapist at Ciudad de México General Hospital has assessed her and recommended a stair-climbing aid. The public scheme doesn't cover it, and the quote from the supplier is $1,650. Her current equipment is 11 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined her to home for 3 weeks. With the right equipment Dolores could join the school sports day. 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 $1,650 goes: • stair-climbing aid: $1,550 • Delivery and set-up: $20 • First-year servicing plan: $80 Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself. - Leonardo
