Independence for Humaira: stair-climbing aid
A stair-climbing aid would give Humaira independence - we're $1,050 away.
🇵🇰 Pakistan1,364 views
Humaira lives with an amputation below the knee. The occupational therapist at the Gujranwala Mobility Clinic has assessed her and recommended a stair-climbing aid. The public scheme doesn't cover it, and the quote from the supplier is $1,050.
Her current equipment is 12 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined her to home for 6 weeks.
With the right equipment Humaira could go to school independently. 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.
Funds go toward the equipment, delivery, fitting and a year of servicing.
Where the $1,050 goes:
• stair-climbing aid: $940
• Fitting and training sessions: $45
• Delivery and set-up: $15
• First-year servicing plan: $50
I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.

hang in there, Shazia. Hope the doctors have good news. Love from Jodhpur.
Wishing Humaira a smooth procedure and a full recovery. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day. Thinking of Gujranwala.
Wishing you peace, Shazia. It takes guts to ask. Well done.
