Mobility fund: stair-climbing aid for Ajay in Mangaluru
Ajay needs a stair-climbing aid that the health system won't fund; the cost is $600.
🇮🇳 Mangaluru, Karnataka, India1,672 views
Ajay lives with cerebral palsy. The occupational therapist at Mangaluru 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 $600.
His current equipment is 11 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined him to home for 8 weeks.
With the right equipment Ajay 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.
Funds go toward the equipment, delivery, fitting and a year of servicing.
Where the $600 goes:
• Delivery and set-up: $15
• Fitting and training sessions: $55
• stair-climbing aid: $530
Thanks for reading all this.

rooting for you, Shilpa. Your post was clear and honest. Greetings from Warangal.
Thinking of you and your family, Shilpa. I hope things turn around soon. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it!
Wishing Ajay a smooth procedure and a full recovery. I have a 16 year old who wants to send good wishes too. God bless.
