Help Bhavna get a stair-climbing aid so She can get to the shops and visit friends.

Bhavna lives with profound hearing loss. The occupational therapist at the Bengaluru Rehabilitation Centre has assessed her and recommended a stair-climbing aid. The public scheme doesn't cover it, and the quote from the supplier is $1,200.
Her current equipment is 11 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined her to home for 8 weeks.
With the right equipment Bhavna 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 $1,200 goes:
• stair-climbing aid: $1,100
• Fitting and training sessions: $30
• Delivery and set-up: $15
• First-year servicing plan: $55
Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.
