Mobility fund: stair-climbing aid for Carolina in Puebla

Help Carolina get a stair-climbing aid so She can attend work interviews.

Puebla
I live with muscular dystrophy. My occupational therapist at the Puebla Rehabilitation Centre has assessed me and recommended a stair-climbing aid. The public scheme doesn't cover it, and the quote from the supplier is $1,300. My current equipment is 11 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined me to home for 8 weeks. With the right equipment I could attend work interviews. 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 $1,300 goes: • First-year servicing plan: $105 • stair-climbing aid: $1,150 • Fitting and training sessions: $45 I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.

Updates from Carolina

  1. Good news. Because of your gifts ($108 in total) we've started the first stage. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.

  2. Wanted to say thank you properly. 18% funded and the plan for first-year servicing plan is now scheduled.
