Mobility fund: stair-climbing aid for Caleb in Atlanta

A stair-climbing aid would give Caleb independence - we're $9,650 away.

Atlanta
I live with muscular dystrophy. My occupational therapist at the Atlanta Mobility Clinic has assessed me and recommended a stair-climbing aid. The public scheme doesn't cover it, and the quote from the supplier is $9,650. My current equipment is 9 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined me to home for 7 weeks. With the right equipment I could go outside without waiting for someone to push. 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. I'll pay the supplier directly from the funds, and I'll post a photo once the equipment is delivered. Where the $9,650 goes: • stair-climbing aid: $9,000 • Fitting and training sessions: $270 • First-year servicing plan: $380 Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot.
