Independence for Pranav: stair-climbing aid
Pranav needs a stair-climbing aid that the health system won't fund; the cost is $4,950.
🇺🇸 United States3,667 views
Pranav lives with an amputation below the knee. The occupational therapist at Sacramento 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 $4,950.
His current equipment is 10 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined him to home for 7 weeks.
With the right equipment Pranav could get to the shops and visit friends. 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 $4,950 goes:
• stair-climbing aid: $4,450
• First-year servicing plan: $310
• Delivery and set-up: $190
