Independence for Karin: stair-climbing aid
Help Karin get a stair-climbing aid so She can go outside without waiting for someone to push.
🇸🇪 Gothenburg, Västra Götaland, Sweden1,832 views
I live with profound hearing loss. My occupational therapist at Gothenburg 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 $3,400.
My current equipment is 12 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined me to home for 5 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.
I'll pay the supplier directly from the funds, and I'll post a photo once the equipment is delivered.
Where the $3,400 goes:
• First-year servicing plan: $230
• Fitting and training sessions: $240
• stair-climbing aid: $2,930
Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.

sending strength, Karin. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Blessings
Hope things get better soon. I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side.
Sending good thoughts, Karin. Hope you get there. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry.
Best of luck, Karin. Get well soon. Don't be hard on yourself for asking
