Isaac needs a stair-climbing aid - help us make it happen
A stair-climbing aid would give Isaac independence - we're $650 away.
🇬🇭 Tema, Greater Accra, Ghana516 views
Isaac lives with a rare neuromuscular condition. The occupational therapist at the Tema Rehabilitation Centre has assessed him and recommended a stair-climbing aid. The public scheme doesn't cover it, and the quote from the supplier is $650.
His current equipment is 9 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined him to home for 8 weeks.
With the right equipment Isaac 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.
I'll pay the supplier directly from the funds, and I'll post a photo once the equipment is delivered.
Where the $650 goes:
• stair-climbing aid: $570
• Fitting and training sessions: $25
• Delivery and set-up: $35
• First-year servicing plan: $20
With deep gratitude,
Afia

Hope things get better soon, Afia. Get well soon. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. God bless
It takes guts to ask. Well done. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Take care!
Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Isaac
Stay strong, Afia. Looking forward to the next update. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. Love from Mississauga
