Jocelyn lives with low vision from retinitis pigmentosa. The occupational therapist at Los Angeles General Hospital has assessed her and recommended a stair-climbing aid. The public scheme doesn't cover it, and the quote from the supplier is $4,800. Her current equipment is 14 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined her to home for 10 weeks. With the right equipment Jocelyn could speak with the people around her. 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 $4,800 goes: • First-year servicing plan: $240 • Delivery and set-up: $85 • stair-climbing aid: $4,475 With deep gratitude, John

Updates from John

Wanted to say thank you properly. 9% funded and I made the first payment toward stair-climbing aid.
Small update. $290 so far, the first invoice got paid this week.
Thank you all. We're at 1% now ($71). I'm honestly stunned. I made the first payment toward stair-climbing aid.
