I live with muscular dystrophy. My occupational therapist at the Seoul Rehabilitation Centre has assessed me and recommended a stair-climbing aid. The public scheme doesn't cover it, and the quote from the supplier is $2,700. My current equipment is 14 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined me to home for 7 weeks. With the right equipment I could speak with the people around him. 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. Funds go toward the equipment, delivery, fitting and a year of servicing. Where the $2,700 goes: • stair-climbing aid: $2,300 • Fitting and training sessions: $145 • Delivery and set-up: $55 • First-year servicing plan: $200 Ask me anything below before you decide. I'd rather you were sure.
