Mobility fund: stair-climbing aid for Manal in Rotterdam

Help Manal get a stair-climbing aid so She can attend work interviews.

Rotterdam
Manal lives with multiple sclerosis. The occupational therapist at Rotterdam General Hospital has assessed her and recommended a stair-climbing aid. The public scheme doesn't cover it, and the quote from the supplier is $5,700. Her current equipment is 15 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined her to home for 7 weeks. With the right equipment Manal 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 $5,700 goes: • stair-climbing aid: $5,250 • Fitting and training sessions: $175 • Delivery and set-up: $70 • First-year servicing plan: $205 Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly. - Kamal

      Thinking of you and your family, Kamal. This could happen to any of us. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Blessings.

        Rooting for you, Kamal. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. Thinking of Rotterdam.
