Independence for Wayne: stair-climbing aid
Help Wayne get a stair-climbing aid so He can join the school sports day.
🇺🇸 United States859 views
I live with a spinal cord injury. My occupational therapist at the Nashville Mobility Clinic has assessed me and recommended a stair-climbing aid. The public scheme doesn't cover it, and the quote from the supplier is $550.
My current equipment is 13 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined me to home for 5 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.
I'll pay the supplier directly from the funds, and I'll post a photo once the equipment is delivered.
Where the $550 goes:
• Delivery and set-up: $90
• Fitting and training sessions: $130
• First-year servicing plan: $330
Ask me anything below before you decide. I'd rather you were sure.
