Mobility fund: stair-climbing aid for Isabelle in Strasbourg
Isabelle needs a stair-climbing aid that the health system won't fund; the cost is $4,250.
🇫🇷 Strasbourg, Grand Est, France3,737 views
Isabelle lives with multiple sclerosis. The occupational therapist at the Strasbourg Rehabilitation Centre has assessed her and recommended a stair-climbing aid. The public scheme doesn't cover it, and the quote from the supplier is $4,250.
Her current equipment is 13 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined her to home for 8 weeks.
With the right equipment Isabelle 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 $4,250 goes:
• stair-climbing aid: $3,750
• Fitting and training sessions: $170
• Delivery and set-up: $150
• First-year servicing plan: $180
Thanks for reading all this.
