Mobility fund: stair-climbing aid for Mahmoud in Riyadh

A stair-climbing aid would give Mahmoud independence - we're $4,900 away.

Mahmoud lives with profound hearing loss. The occupational therapist at Riyadh 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 $4,900. His current equipment is 13 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined him to home for 12 weeks. With the right equipment Mahmoud could speak with the people around him. 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 $4,900 goes: • Delivery and set-up: $75 • stair-climbing aid: $4,700 • Fitting and training sessions: $125 Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot.
