Mobility fund: stair-climbing aid for Lawrence in Louisville
Help Lawrence get a stair-climbing aid so He can get to the shops and visit friends.
🇺🇸 Louisville, Kentucky, United States1,152 views
Lawrence lives with multiple sclerosis. The occupational therapist at Louisville 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 $3,350.
His current equipment is 10 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined him to home for 7 weeks.
With the right equipment Lawrence 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.
Funds go toward the equipment, delivery, fitting and a year of servicing.
Where the $3,350 goes:
• Fitting and training sessions: $260
• First-year servicing plan: $360
• stair-climbing aid: $2,730
Glad we found this place.

Thinking of you and your family, Anna. I hope things turn around soon. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like
Best of luck, Anna. Hope the doctors have good news. I have a 15 year old who wants to send good wishes too. Blessings.
Hang in there, Anna. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Thinking of Louisville!
is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Lawrence!
It's all in the list in the story. fitting and training sessions is the big one at $260, I'll post a receipt when it's paid. Appreciate you taking the time.
Praying for you, Anna. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. All the best.
So sorry you're going through this, Anna. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected.
Wishing you the best, Anna. Shared it with a few friends

I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. Thinking of Louisville.
a colleague of mine might know someone for this in Kentucky. I'll ask around and let you know
