Zapopan
Daniel lives with muscular dystrophy. The occupational therapist at the Zapopan Rehabilitation Centre has assessed him and recommended a stair-climbing aid. The public scheme doesn't cover it, and the quote from the supplier is $2,350. His current equipment is 13 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined him to home for 4 weeks. With the right equipment Daniel could go outside without waiting for someone to push. 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 $2,350 goes: • stair-climbing aid: $2,150 • Fitting and training sessions: $80 • Delivery and set-up: $35 • First-year servicing plan: $85 If you're reading this, thank you. - Julieta
