Independence for Leo: stair-climbing aid
A stair-climbing aid would give Leo independence - we are $800 away.
🇵🇭 Mandaue, Cebu, Philippines1,095 views
Leo lives with profound hearing loss. The occupational therapist at Mandaue 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 $800.
His current equipment is 8 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined him to home for 6 weeks.
With the right equipment Leo could join the school sports day. 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 $800 goes:
• stair-climbing aid: $680
• Fitting and training sessions: $45
• Delivery and set-up: $20
• First-year servicing plan: $55
I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.
