Mobility fund: stair-climbing aid for Landon in Albany
Help Landon get a stair-climbing aid so He can go outside without waiting for someone to push.
🇺🇸 Albany, New York, United States3,240 views
Landon lives with muscular dystrophy. The occupational therapist at Albany 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 $2,600.
His current equipment is 11 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined him to home for 4 weeks.
With the right equipment Landon 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 $2,600 goes:
• stair-climbing aid: $2,250
• Delivery and set-up: $170
• Fitting and training sessions: $180
I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.

Hope it all works out. Shared it with a few friends. My sister had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. All the best!
