Kirit needs a stair-climbing aid - help us make it happen

Kirit needs a stair-climbing aid that the health system won't fund; the cost is $500.

Dwarka
Kirit lives with multiple sclerosis. The occupational therapist at the Dwarka 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 $500. His current equipment is 8 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined him to home for 3 weeks. With the right equipment Kirit could go outside without waiting for someone to push. 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 $500 goes: • stair-climbing aid: $360 • Fitting and training sessions: $55 • Delivery and set-up: $15 • First-year servicing plan: $70 Thank you so much. - Aishwarya

            you're not alone, Aishwarya. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. Blessings.
