Sadie lives with cerebral palsy. The occupational therapist at Derry General Hospital has assessed her and recommended a stair-climbing aid. The public scheme doesn't cover it, and the quote from the supplier is $5,400. Her current equipment is 13 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined her to home for 6 weeks. With the right equipment Sadie 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 $5,400 goes: • stair-climbing aid: $4,900 • Fitting and training sessions: $125 • Delivery and set-up: $190 • First-year servicing plan: $185 Thank you for reading my story. - Levi

Updates from Levi

  1. Wanted to say thank you properly. 75% funded and I met with the supplier and confirmed the amounts.

  2. Good news. Because of your gifts ($2,417 in total) we've started the first stage. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.
