Leonid lives with a spinal cord injury. The occupational therapist at the Odesa Rehabilitation Centre has assessed him and recommended a stair-climbing aid. The public scheme doesn't cover it, and the quote from the supplier is $550. His current equipment is 10 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined him to home for 5 weeks. With the right equipment Leonid could attend work interviews. 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 $550 goes: โ€ข stair-climbing aid: $450 โ€ข Fitting and training sessions: $65 โ€ข First-year servicing plan: $35 I'll pay this kindness forward the moment I'm able to. - Yevhen
