Mobility fund: stair-climbing aid for Hetal in Mumbai
Help Hetal get a stair-climbing aid so She can attend work interviews.
🇮🇳 India1,668 views
Hetal lives with a spinal cord injury. The occupational therapist at the Mumbai 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 $1,250.
Her current equipment is 13 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined her to home for 5 weeks.
With the right equipment Hetal 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.
Funds go toward the equipment, delivery, fitting and a year of servicing.
Where the $1,250 goes:
• stair-climbing aid: $1,150
• Fitting and training sessions: $40
• Delivery and set-up: $10
• First-year servicing plan: $50
I'll pay this kindness forward the moment I'm able to.

Thinking of you, Mangesh. Shared this with my family. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend!
Hope this works out for you. Wish I lived closer to Kochi so I could bring a meal. Blessings.
Good luck. Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day. God bless.
is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Hetal.
Sure. The biggest one is stair-climbing aid, $1,150. The rest is in the list at the bottom of the post and I'll upload receipts as I pay each one. Let me know if you want more detail.
I hope things turn around soon. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. Blessings
Take care. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. I have a 15 year old who wants to send good wishes too. God bless
Hope things get better soon. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. I'll check back for the next update. Greetings from Faisalabad.
Sending strength. I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. Take care.
Hang in there, Mangesh. I hope things turn around soon. Take care
