I live with cerebral palsy. My occupational therapist at the Southampton Rehabilitation Centre has assessed me and recommended a stair-climbing aid. The public scheme doesn't cover it, and the quote from the supplier is $6,500. My current equipment is 11 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined me to home for 5 weeks. With the right equipment I could go to school independently. 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 $6,500 goes: โ€ข stair-climbing aid: $6,000 โ€ข First-year servicing plan: $135 โ€ข Fitting and training sessions: $365 Thanks for being kind about this.

Updates from Jayden

  1. Small update. $944 so far, the plan for fitting and training sessions is now scheduled. - Jayden

  2. Quick update: $669 raised so far (10%). I met with the supplier and confirmed the amounts. Receipts coming as soon as I have them.

  3. We're at 5% thanks to 10 of you. I made the first payment toward first-year servicing plan. More news soon.

    Hope this works out for you. Wish I lived closer to Mohammedia so I could bring a meal.
