I live with multiple sclerosis. My occupational therapist at Guarulhos 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 $950. My current equipment is 11 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined me to home for 6 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. Funds go toward the equipment, delivery, fitting and a year of servicing. Where the $950 goes: • Delivery and set-up: $30 • First-year servicing plan: $70 • stair-climbing aid: $850 Thank you for reading my story.
