Independence for Shahid: stair-climbing aid
Shahid needs a stair-climbing aid that the health system won't fund; the cost is $750.
🇵🇰 Lahore, Punjab, Pakistan803 views
Shahid lives with multiple sclerosis. The occupational therapist at the Lahore 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 $750.
His current equipment is 9 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined him to home for 6 weeks.
With the right equipment Shahid 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 $750 goes:
• Delivery and set-up: $10
• stair-climbing aid: $680
• Fitting and training sessions: $60
Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.
