Arlington
Luke lives with an amputation below the knee. The occupational therapist at the Arlington Rehabilitation Centre has assessed him and recommended a stair-climbing aid. The public scheme doesn't cover it, and the quote from the supplier is $3,200. His current equipment is 13 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined him to home for 5 weeks. With the right equipment Luke could attend work interviews. 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 $3,200 goes: โ€ข stair-climbing aid: $2,850 โ€ข First-year servicing plan: $240 โ€ข Delivery and set-up: $110 Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself. - Beau

    Wishing Luke a smooth procedure and a full recovery. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day.

    • Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick. After 14 years in construction I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Blessings

      • Wishing you peace. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. My sister had a similar thing happen so this one hit home.

          Good luck, Beau. This could happen to any of us. Thinking of Arlington.

          • Hope things get better soon. Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick. Greetings from Saket!
