Mobility fund: stair-climbing aid for Johan in Pretoria
Help Johan get a stair-climbing aid so He can speak with the people around him.
🇿🇦 Pretoria, Gauteng, South Africa1,880 views
I live with profound hearing loss. My occupational therapist at the Pretoria 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 $1,200.
My current equipment is 11 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined me to home for 7 weeks.
With the right equipment I could speak with the people around him. 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.
Funds go toward the equipment, delivery, fitting and a year of servicing.
Where the $1,200 goes:
• stair-climbing aid: $1,050
• Fitting and training sessions: $45
• Delivery and set-up: $20
• First-year servicing plan: $85
I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen.
