Mobility fund: stair-climbing aid for Krishna in Greensboro

Help Krishna get a stair-climbing aid so He can go outside without waiting for someone to push.

Krishna lives with an amputation below the knee. The occupational therapist at Greensboro General Hospital has assessed him and recommended a stair-climbing aid. The public scheme doesn't cover it, and the quote from the supplier is $4,650. His current equipment is 9 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined him to home for 7 weeks. With the right equipment Krishna 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. I'll pay the supplier directly from the funds, and I'll post a photo once the equipment is delivered. Where the $4,650 goes: • Fitting and training sessions: $310 • stair-climbing aid: $4,050 • First-year servicing plan: $290 I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.

                    look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. I went through something like this 9 years ago and strangers helped me out. Take care.
