Independence for Neville: stair-climbing aid

A stair-climbing aid would give Neville independence - we're $2,050 away.

Spanish Town
I live with a rare neuromuscular condition. My occupational therapist at Spanish Town 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 $2,050. 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 speak with the people around him. 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 $2,050 goes: • stair-climbing aid: $1,850 • Fitting and training sessions: $60 • Delivery and set-up: $55 • First-year servicing plan: $85 Every share and every dollar helps. - Neville

    Hope things get better soon. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. Thinking of Spanish Town.

          Thinking of you and your family, Neville. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day.

                Hang in there. Shared this with my family. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. Greetings from Dar es Salaam.
