Independence for Yu-na: stair-climbing aid
Help Yu-na get a stair-climbing aid so She can join the school sports day.
🇰🇷 Seoul, Seoul, South Korea2,614 views
Yu-na lives with a rare neuromuscular condition. The occupational therapist at the Seoul Mobility Clinic has assessed her and recommended a stair-climbing aid. The public scheme doesn't cover it, and the quote from the supplier is $5,100.
Her current equipment is 8 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined her to home for 3 weeks.
With the right equipment Yu-na could join the school sports day. 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 $5,100 goes:
• stair-climbing aid: $4,650
• Fitting and training sessions: $220
• Delivery and set-up: $90
• First-year servicing plan: $140
Every share and every dollar helps.

Is there anything that isn't money that would help Yu-na?
Thank you. If you're in Seoul I'll say if something practical comes up. For now sharing this is great. Thanks, that means a lot.
wishing Yu-na a smooth procedure and a full recovery. We're a small family in Vitória da Conquista but we're thinking of you.
how is Yu-na doing now?
Praying for you, Min-seo. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. All the best
Stay strong. Your post was clear and honest. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. God bless.
Keep going. I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. Blessings.
Hope it all works out, Min-seo. Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick. Don't be hard on yourself for asking. Love from Nuremberg.
get well soon. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. Take care.
