Mumbai

Prachi lives with a spinal cord injury. The occupational therapist at the Mumbai 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 $700. Her current equipment is 12 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined her to home for 4 weeks. With the right equipment Prachi could go outside without waiting for someone to push. 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 $700 goes: • stair-climbing aid: $590 • Fitting and training sessions: $45 • Delivery and set-up: $25 • First-year servicing plan: $40 Thanks for being kind about this.

Updates from Aniket

Good news. Because of your gifts ($195 in total) the plan for delivery and set-up is now scheduled. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.
Quick update: $170 raised so far (24%). I met with the supplier and confirmed the amounts. Receipts coming as soon as I have them.
Small update. $50 so far, I made the first payment toward stair-climbing aid.
