Mobility fund: stair-climbing aid for Nikos in Piraeus
Help Nikos get a stair-climbing aid so He can get to the shops and visit friends.
🇬🇷 Greece2,578 views
Nikos lives with multiple sclerosis. The occupational therapist at the Piraeus Mobility Clinic has assessed him and recommended a stair-climbing aid. The public scheme doesn't cover it, and the quote from the supplier is $2,850.
His current equipment is 14 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined him to home for 7 weeks.
With the right equipment Nikos could get to the shops and visit friends. 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 $2,850 goes:
• stair-climbing aid: $2,700
• Delivery and set-up: $40
• First-year servicing plan: $110
Ask me anything below before you decide. I'd rather you were sure.

Hope things get better soon. I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected.
good luck. Looking forward to the next update. Love from Bangkok.
Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. I'm in social work myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you
