Hồ Chí Minh City
I live with cerebral palsy. My occupational therapist at the Hồ Chí Minh City 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 $1,300. My current equipment is 9 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined me to home for 6 weeks. With the right equipment I could attend work interviews. 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 $1,300 goes: • stair-climbing aid: $1,200 • Fitting and training sessions: $30 • Delivery and set-up: $25 • First-year servicing plan: $45 With deep gratitude, Huy

Updates from Huy

  1. Wanted to say thank you properly. 79% funded and the plan for fitting and training sessions is now scheduled.

  2. Wanted to say thank you properly. 33% funded and I made the first payment toward first-year servicing plan.
