Mobility fund: stair-climbing aid for Geetha in Ahmedabad

Geetha needs a stair-climbing aid that the health system will not fund; the cost is $1,300.

Geetha lives with muscular dystrophy. The occupational therapist at Ahmedabad General Hospital has assessed her and recommended a stair-climbing aid. The public scheme doesn't cover it, and the quote from the supplier is $1,300. Her current equipment is 14 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined her to home for 5 weeks. With the right equipment Geetha could join the school sports day. 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 $1,300 goes: • stair-climbing aid: $1,200 • Fitting and training sessions: $35 • Delivery and set-up: $15 • First-year servicing plan: $50 Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot.

  1. Update from Ahmedabad: the first invoice got paid this week. We're at 19% of the goal. Thank you for believing in us.

  2. Quick update: $405 raised so far (31%). I made the first payment toward first-year servicing plan. Receipts coming as soon as I have them.

  3. Wanted to say thank you properly. 52% funded and we've started the first stage. - Vinod

    Gave what I could, wish it was more. After 23 years in public service I know how hard it's to ask for anything.
