Independence for Kyung-soo: stair-climbing aid

A stair-climbing aid would give Kyung-soo independence - we are $2,100 away.

Seoul
Kyung-soo lives with multiple sclerosis. The occupational therapist at Seoul General Hospital has assessed him and recommended a stair-climbing aid. The public scheme doesn't cover it, and the quote from the supplier is $2,100. His current equipment is 15 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined him to home for 8 weeks. With the right equipment Kyung-soo could speak with the people around him. 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 $2,100 goes: • stair-climbing aid: $1,750 • Fitting and training sessions: $80 • Delivery and set-up: $95 • First-year servicing plan: $175 Thanks for being kind about this.

    Rooting for you, Do-hyun. Shared it with a few friends

      Take care, Do-hyun. Gave what I could, wish it was more. I went through something like this 4 years ago and strangers helped me out. Take care.

      • Roberta Alessia Conti

        Sending good thoughts, Do-hyun. Shared it with a few friends. Thinking of Seoul.

        • Kavita D. Bhardwaj

          Hope you get there. Wish I lived closer to London so I could bring a meal. God bless.
