Independence for Harold: stair-climbing aid
Help Harold get a stair-climbing aid so He can attend work interviews.
🇺🇸 United States902 views
I live with an amputation below the knee. My occupational therapist at the Corpus Christi 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 $3,100.
My current equipment is 9 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined me to home for 10 weeks.
With the right equipment I could attend work interviews. 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 $3,100 goes:
• Delivery and set-up: $180
• stair-climbing aid: $2,700
• Fitting and training sessions: $220
Thanks for being kind about this.

Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Harold
Everything on the list is an amount I've been quoted or invoiced. delivery and set-up comes first ($180) and I'll update the page as each thing gets paid. I'll keep the page updated.
Wishing you peace, Harold. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Sent it to 18 people at work. Take care
Sending love, Harold. Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick.
Wishing you the best, Harold. Looking forward to the next update. Wish I lived closer to Contagem so I could bring a meal.
