I live with multiple sclerosis. My occupational therapist at the Bristol Mobility Clinic has assessed me and recommended a stair-climbing aid. The public scheme doesn't cover it, and the quote from the supplier is $6,150.
My current equipment is 9 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined me to home for 8 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 $6,150 goes:
• stair-climbing aid: $5,500
• Fitting and training sessions: $290
• Delivery and set-up: $190
• First-year servicing plan: $170
Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot.

Rooting for you. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Thinking of Bristol.
Rooting for you. Get well soon. Wish I lived closer to Wollongong so I could bring a meal.
Thinking of you and your family, Gabriel. Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick. Wish I lived closer to Bekasi so I could bring a meal. God bless.
