Independence for Kyung-soo: stair-climbing aid
A stair-climbing aid would give Kyung-soo independence - we are $2,100 away.
Anywhere in the world1,200 views
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.
Sending good thoughts, Do-hyun. Shared it with a few friends. Thinking of Seoul.
Hope you get there. Wish I lived closer to London so I could bring a meal. God bless.
