Independence for Rylee: stair-climbing aid
Help Rylee get a stair-climbing aid so She can attend work interviews.
🇳🇿 New Zealand1,724 views
Rylee lives with low vision from retinitis pigmentosa. The occupational therapist at the Hamilton Mobility Clinic has assessed her and recommended a stair-climbing aid. The public scheme doesn't cover it, and the quote from the supplier is $2,400.
Her current equipment is 13 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined her to home for 6 weeks.
With the right equipment Rylee could attend work interviews. 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 $2,400 goes:
• stair-climbing aid: $1,850
• Fitting and training sessions: $115
• Delivery and set-up: $90
• First-year servicing plan: $345

Hope you get there. We're a small family in Thika but we're thinking of you. Love from Thika.
Hope it all works out. Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick. I'll check back for the next update. Thinking of Hamilton
Wishing you the best, Jonathan. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend. Greetings from Nagpur.
You're not alone. Shared it with a few friends. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. Thinking of Hamilton.
