Independence for Sachin: stair-climbing aid
A stair-climbing aid would give Sachin independence - we're $1,150 away.
🇮🇳 Mumbai, Maharashtra, India2,591 views
Sachin lives with muscular dystrophy. The occupational therapist at the Mumbai Rehabilitation Centre has assessed him and recommended a stair-climbing aid. The public scheme doesn't cover it, and the quote from the supplier is $1,150.
His current equipment is 8 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined him to home for 8 weeks.
With the right equipment Sachin could join the school sports day. 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.
I'll pay the supplier directly from the funds, and I'll post a photo once the equipment is delivered.
Where the $1,150 goes:
• stair-climbing aid: $1,100
• First-year servicing plan: $25
• Delivery and set-up: $25
I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen.

hope things get better soon, Suresh. Hope this works out for you. I hope December is when things finally get easier. Blessings.
Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. Thinking of Mumbai.
