Mobility fund: stair-climbing aid for Nathan in San Diego
Nathan needs a stair-climbing aid that the health system won't fund; the cost is $4,750.
🇺🇸 San Diego, California, United States7,103 views
I live with multiple sclerosis. My occupational therapist at the San Diego Mobility Clinic has assessed me and recommended a stair-climbing aid. The public scheme doesn't cover it, and the quote from the supplier is $4,750.
My current equipment is 8 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined me to home for 6 weeks.
With the right equipment I could go outside without waiting for someone to push. 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 $4,750 goes:
• stair-climbing aid: $4,150
• Fitting and training sessions: $370
• First-year servicing plan: $230
Thank you for reading my story.

best of luck. I hope things turn around soon. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. Take care.
Hope it all works out, Nathan. It takes guts to ask. Well done. God bless.
Sending strength, Nathan. Shared this with my family. Don't give up.
