Independence for Kehinde: stair-climbing aid
Kehinde needs a stair-climbing aid that the health system won't fund; the cost is $750.
🇳🇬 Epe, Lagos, Nigeria2,203 views
Kehinde lives with profound hearing loss. The occupational therapist at Epe 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 $750.
Her current equipment is 13 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined her to home for 7 weeks.
With the right equipment Kehinde 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.
I'll pay the supplier directly from the funds, and I'll post a photo once the equipment is delivered.
Where the $750 goes:
• stair-climbing aid: $660
• Fitting and training sessions: $25
• Delivery and set-up: $20
• First-year servicing plan: $45
Thank you so much.
