Mobility fund: stair-climbing aid for Gabriella in London
A stair-climbing aid would give Gabriella independence - we're $6,550 away.

I live with low vision from retinitis pigmentosa. My occupational therapist at the London Rehabilitation Centre has assessed me and recommended a stair-climbing aid. The public scheme doesn't cover it, and the quote from the supplier is $6,550.
My current equipment is 12 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined me to home for 3 weeks.
With the right equipment I could speak with the people around her. 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 $6,550 goes:
• stair-climbing aid: $6,000
• Fitting and training sessions: $330
• Delivery and set-up: $70
• First-year servicing plan: $150
Thanks for reading all this.

Your post was clear and honest. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. God bless!
Thanks for sharing this, Gabriella. Shared this with my family. Blessings.
Thinking of you. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. God bless.
