Independence for Young-ho: stair-climbing aid
A stair-climbing aid would give Young-ho independence - we're $2,700 away.

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.

Hope it all works out, Young-ho. Shared this with my family. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it
