Mobility fund: stair-climbing aid for Ananya in London
A stair-climbing aid would give Ananya independence - we're $2,800 away.

I live with low vision from retinitis pigmentosa. My occupational therapist at London General Hospital has assessed me and recommended a stair-climbing aid. The public scheme doesn't cover it, and the quote from the supplier is $2,800.
My current equipment is 13 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined me to home for 12 weeks.
With the right equipment I could get to the shops and visit friends. 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.
Funds go toward the equipment, delivery, fitting and a year of servicing.
Where the $2,800 goes:
• stair-climbing aid: $2,200
• Fitting and training sessions: $270
• Delivery and set-up: $120
• First-year servicing plan: $210
Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot.

Hope it all works out, Ananya. Shared this with my family. Blessings.
So sorry you're going through this. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. Thinking of London
Thinking of you. It takes guts to ask. Well done. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. God bless.
