Independence for Irene: stair-climbing aid

I live with an amputation below the knee. My occupational therapist at the Nairobi 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 $1,460. My current equipment is 10 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined me to home for 6 weeks. With the right equipment I could join the school sports day. 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 $1,460 goes: • Fitting and training sessions: $55 • stair-climbing aid: $1,400 • Delivery and set-up: $5 Ask me anything below before you decide. I'd rather you were sure. - Irene
