Independence for Lourdes: stair-climbing aid
A stair-climbing aid would give Lourdes independence - we're $800 away.

I live with profound hearing loss. My occupational therapist at the Quezon City Mobility Clinic has assessed me and recommended a stair-climbing aid. The public scheme doesn't cover it, and the quote from the supplier is $800.
My current equipment is 8 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined me to home for 8 weeks.
With the right equipment I could get to the shops and visit friends. 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.
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: $740
• Fitting and training sessions: $30
• Delivery and set-up: $15
• First-year servicing plan: $15
Glad we found this place.

Hang in there. Shared this with my family. Wish I lived closer to London so I could bring a meal. God bless.
