Marius lives with a spinal cord injury. The occupational therapist at the Timișoara Mobility Clinic has assessed him and recommended a stair-climbing aid. The public scheme doesn't cover it, and the quote from the supplier is $2,050. His current equipment is 8 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined him to home for 5 weeks. With the right equipment Marius could go to school independently. 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 $2,050 goes: • First-year servicing plan: $90 • Fitting and training sessions: $50 • stair-climbing aid: $1,910 If you're reading this, thank you. - Vlad

        • Rooting for you. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. After 19 years in public service I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Thinking of Timișoara

          • is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Marius

              It's all in the list in the story. first-year servicing plan is the big one at $90, I'll post a receipt when it's paid. Thanks, that means a lot.
