Independence for Sergei: stair-climbing aid
A stair-climbing aid would give Sergei independence - we're $1,200 away.
🇺🇦 Ukraine2,024 views
I live with muscular dystrophy. My occupational therapist at the Zaporizhzhia Rehabilitation Centre has assessed me and recommended a stair-climbing aid. The public scheme doesn't cover it, and the quote from the supplier is $1,200.
My current equipment is 12 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined me to home for 6 weeks.
With the right equipment I could join the school sports day. 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 $1,200 goes:
• stair-climbing aid: $1,100
• Fitting and training sessions: $40
• Delivery and set-up: $15
• First-year servicing plan: $45
Thanks for being kind about this.

Hope the doctors have good news. Thinking of Zaporizhzhia
Praying for you. Hope the doctors have good news. After 12 years in customer support I know how hard it is to ask for anything.
