I live with low vision from retinitis pigmentosa. My occupational therapist at Gwagwalada 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 $900.
My current equipment is 9 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined me to home for 12 weeks.
With the right equipment I could go to school independently. 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 $900 goes:
• stair-climbing aid: $750
• Fitting and training sessions: $45
• Delivery and set-up: $25
• First-year servicing plan: $80

Praying for you. Shared this with my family. I'll check back for the next update. Love from Tacoma.
So sorry you're going through this, Chukwuemeka. Hope you get there. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust. Thinking of Gwagwalada.
