Mobility fund: stair-climbing aid for Emma in Sacramento
Help Emma get a stair-climbing aid so She can attend work interviews.
🇺🇸 United States4,961 views
Emma lives with muscular dystrophy. The occupational therapist at the Sacramento Mobility Clinic has assessed her and recommended a stair-climbing aid. The public scheme doesn't cover it, and the quote from the supplier is $5,300.
Her current equipment is 12 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined her to home for 7 weeks.
With the right equipment Emma could attend work interviews. 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 $5,300 goes:
• stair-climbing aid: $4,500
• Fitting and training sessions: $160
• Delivery and set-up: $210
• First-year servicing plan: $430
With deep gratitude,
Alexandra

Sending good thoughts. Wishing Emma a smooth procedure and a full recovery
Take care. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Love from Stellenbosch.
Take care. Looking forward to the next update. We're a small family in Rosario but we're thinking of you. Thinking of Sacramento
