Mobility fund: stair-climbing aid for Nyambura in Embakasi
Nyambura needs a stair-climbing aid that the health system won't fund; the cost is $750.

Nyambura lives with muscular dystrophy. The occupational therapist at the Embakasi Mobility Clinic has assessed her and recommended a stair-climbing aid. The public scheme doesn't cover it, and the quote from the supplier is $750.
Her current equipment is 10 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined her to home for 7 weeks.
With the right equipment Nyambura 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.
Funds go toward the equipment, delivery, fitting and a year of servicing.
Where the $750 goes:
• Fitting and training sessions: $25
• stair-climbing aid: $720
• Delivery and set-up: $5
Thanks for reading all this.
