Mark needs a stair-climbing aid - help us make it happen
A stair-climbing aid would give Mark independence - we're $1,350 away.
🇵🇭 Santa Rosa, Laguna, Philippines1,114 views
Mark lives with profound hearing loss. The occupational therapist at the Santa Rosa 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 $1,350.
His current equipment is 10 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined him to home for 7 weeks.
With the right equipment Mark could get to the shops and visit friends. 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 $1,350 goes:
• First-year servicing plan: $35
• Delivery and set-up: $15
• stair-climbing aid: $1,300
With deep gratitude,
Allan

Sending love, Allan. Wishing Mark a smooth procedure and a full recovery.
So sorry you're going through this. Wishing Mark a smooth procedure and a full recovery. We're a small family in Dhaka but we're thinking of you. Thinking of Santa Rosa.
Stay strong, Allan. Hope this works out for you. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Thinking of Santa Rosa.
Praying for you. I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day. Love from Mumbai.
Sending good thoughts, Allan. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. Put this on a community board in Seoul this morning.
