Saeed lives with cerebral palsy. The occupational therapist at the Casablanca Mobility Clinic has assessed him and recommended a stair-climbing aid. The public scheme doesn't cover it, and the quote from the supplier is $1,400. His current equipment is 9 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined him to home for 6 weeks. With the right equipment Saeed 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. I'll pay the supplier directly from the funds, and I'll post a photo once the equipment is delivered. Where the $1,400 goes: • stair-climbing aid: $1,250 • Fitting and training sessions: $75 • Delivery and set-up: $25 • First-year servicing plan: $50 Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot. - Sara

  • Hope it all works out, Sara. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did.

    • Hope things get better soon, Sara. Shared this with my family. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double.

      • thinking of you and your family, Sara. Looking forward to the next update. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day.

          Praying for you. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. Thinking of Casablanca.
