Mobility fund: stair-climbing aid for Manuel in Zapopan
Manuel needs a stair-climbing aid that the health system won't fund; the cost is $950.
🇲🇽 Zapopan, Jalisco, Mexico720 views
Manuel lives with low vision from retinitis pigmentosa. The occupational therapist at Zapopan 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 $950.
His current equipment is 14 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined him to home for 7 weeks.
With the right equipment Manuel could go to school independently. 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 $950 goes:
• stair-climbing aid: $740
• Fitting and training sessions: $65
• Delivery and set-up: $40
• First-year servicing plan: $105
Thank you for reading my story.
