Independence for Tae-hoon: stair-climbing aid
Help Tae-hoon get a stair-climbing aid so He can get to the shops and visit friends.
🇰🇷 Suwon, Gyeonggi, South Korea650 views
Tae-hoon lives with a spinal cord injury. The occupational therapist at Suwon General Hospital has assessed him and recommended a stair-climbing aid. The public scheme doesn't cover it, and the quote from the supplier is $450.
His current equipment is 9 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined him to home for 7 weeks.
With the right equipment Tae-hoon 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 $450 goes:
• Fitting and training sessions: $220
• Delivery and set-up: $130
• First-year servicing plan: $100
Every share and every dollar helps.

hang in there, Seo-yeon. Gave what I could, wish it was more. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. Love from Badagry.
