Independence for Xin: stair-climbing aid

Help Xin get a stair-climbing aid so She can speak with the people around her.

Parramatta
Xin lives with a rare neuromuscular condition. The occupational therapist at the Parramatta Rehabilitation Centre has assessed her and recommended a stair-climbing aid. The public scheme doesn't cover it, and the quote from the supplier is $5,700. Her current equipment is 13 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined her to home for 3 weeks. With the right equipment Xin 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. I'll pay the supplier directly from the funds, and I'll post a photo once the equipment is delivered. Where the $5,700 goes: • Fitting and training sessions: $290 • stair-climbing aid: $5,250 • First-year servicing plan: $160 Glad we found this place. - Ling

        Good luck. This could happen to any of us. Put this on a community board in Jakarta Selatan this morning. All the best.

          Hope it all works out, Ling. Hope the doctors have good news. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double

          • Saanvi L. SrivastavaQuestion

            is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Xin.

            • Ling Xiu ShenOwnerAnswerPhoto verified

              Sure. The biggest one is fitting and training sessions, $290. The rest is in the list at the bottom of the post and I'll upload receipts as I pay each one. Good question.
