Independence for Letícia: stair-climbing aid

I live with low vision from retinitis pigmentosa. My occupational therapist at Porto Alegre General Hospital has assessed me and recommended a stair-climbing aid. The public scheme doesn't cover it, and the quote from the supplier is $1,900. My current equipment is 14 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined me to home for 3 weeks. With the right equipment I could go to school independently. It would change my everyday life and my ability to work from home. 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 $1,900 goes: • First-year servicing plan: $100 • stair-climbing aid: $1,700 • Fitting and training sessions: $100 I'll pay this kindness forward the moment I'm able to. - Letícia
