Help Leo get a stair-climbing aid so He can attend work interviews.
🇵🇭 Philippines1,239 views
I live with a rare neuromuscular condition. My occupational therapist at San Fernando General Hospital has assessed me and recommended a stair-climbing aid. The public scheme doesn't cover it, and the quote from the supplier is $1,450.
My current equipment is 15 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined me to home for 6 weeks.
With the right equipment I could attend work interviews. 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 $1,450 goes:
• stair-climbing aid: $1,350
• Fitting and training sessions: $40
• Delivery and set-up: $10
• First-year servicing plan: $50
If you're reading this, thank you.

thinking of you. It takes guts to ask. Well done. My husband and I read this together.
you're not alone, Leo. I hope things turn around soon. Don't be hard on yourself for asking. Thinking of San Fernando
Sending strength. This could happen to any of us. My husband and I read this together. All the best.
shared this with my family. I went through something like this 6 years ago and strangers helped me out. All the best.
Best of luck, Leo. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. Greetings from Palermo.
