Mobility fund: stair-climbing aid for Ezekiel in Aurora

Ezekiel needs a stair-climbing aid that the health system won't fund; the cost is $7,500.

Aurora
Ezekiel lives with multiple sclerosis. The occupational therapist at the Aurora 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 $7,500. His current equipment is 13 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined him to home for 8 weeks. With the right equipment Ezekiel 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 $7,500 goes: • stair-climbing aid: $7,000 • Fitting and training sessions: $190 • Delivery and set-up: $110 • First-year servicing plan: $200 Thanks for being kind about this.
