Tokyo
I live with a rare neuromuscular condition. My occupational therapist at the Tokyo Mobility Clinic has assessed me and recommended a stair-climbing aid. The public scheme doesn't cover it, and the quote from the supplier is $4,350. My current equipment is 9 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined me to home for 12 weeks. With the right equipment I could join the school sports day. 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. I'll pay the supplier directly from the funds, and I'll post a photo once the equipment is delivered. Where the $4,350 goes: • Fitting and training sessions: $270 • stair-climbing aid: $4,050 • Delivery and set-up: $30 Every share and every dollar helps. - Mariko
