Nashik

Varsha lives with multiple sclerosis. The occupational therapist at Nashik 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 $1,000. Her current equipment is 14 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined her to home for 10 weeks. With the right equipment Varsha could speak with the people around her. 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. Funds go toward the equipment, delivery, fitting and a year of servicing. Where the $1,000 goes: • stair-climbing aid: $890 • First-year servicing plan: $40 • Fitting and training sessions: $70 Thank you for reading my story. - Deepa

Updates from Deepa

Quick update: $211 raised so far (21%). I made the first payment toward stair-climbing aid. Receipts coming as soon as I have them.
Good news. Because of your gifts ($55 in total) the plan for fitting and training sessions is now scheduled. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.
Wanted to say thank you properly. 21% funded and I made the first payment toward first-year servicing plan.
