Michele needs a stair-climbing aid - help us make it happen
A stair-climbing aid would give Michele independence - we're $1,600 away.
🇮🇹 Brescia, Lombardy, Italy696 views
Michele lives with low vision from retinitis pigmentosa. The occupational therapist at Brescia General Hospital has assessed him and recommended a stair-climbing aid. The public scheme doesn't cover it, and the quote from the supplier is $1,600.
His current equipment is 8 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined him to home for 7 weeks.
With the right equipment Michele 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 $1,600 goes:
• stair-climbing aid: $1,250
• Fitting and training sessions: $150
• Delivery and set-up: $95
• First-year servicing plan: $105
You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.
