Mobility fund: stair-climbing aid for Derek in Leeds

Derek needs a stair-climbing aid that the health system won't fund; the cost is $850.

Derek lives with cerebral palsy. The occupational therapist at Leeds General Hospital has assessed him and recommended a stair-climbing aid. The public scheme doesn't cover it, and the quote from the supplier is $850. His current equipment is 10 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined him to home for 8 weeks. With the right equipment Derek 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 $850 goes: • First-year servicing plan: $270 • Fitting and training sessions: $390 • Delivery and set-up: $190 Every share and every dollar helps. - Hadley

    Thinking of you. Hope the doctors have good news. My neighbor in București donated after I showed her your page. Take care.
