🇺🇸 United States3,184 views
I live with a rare neuromuscular condition. My occupational therapist at Arlington 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 $4,700.
My current equipment is 12 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.
Funds go toward the equipment, delivery, fitting and a year of servicing.
Where the $4,700 goes:
• First-year servicing plan: $430
• stair-climbing aid: $3,900
• Fitting and training sessions: $370
Every share and every dollar helps.

Rooting for you. Gave what I could, wish it was more. I went through something like this 4 years ago and strangers helped me out.
Thinking of you and your family, Hassan. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Take care.
Take care, Hassan. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money
Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick. I hope July is when things finally get easier. Take care
Sending strength. Hope this works out for you. Sent it to 40 people at work.
