Mobility fund: stair-climbing aid for Ketki in Thiruvananthapuram
Help Ketki get a stair-climbing aid so She can go outside without waiting for someone to push.
🇮🇳 India1,439 views
Ketki lives with cerebral palsy. The occupational therapist at Thiruvananthapuram 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 $550.
Her current equipment is 14 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined her to home for 10 weeks.
With the right equipment Ketki could go outside without waiting for someone to push. 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 $550 goes:
• First-year servicing plan: $55
• Fitting and training sessions: $50
• stair-climbing aid: $445
Thanks for reading all this.
