Mobility fund: stair-climbing aid for Purvi in New Delhi
A stair-climbing aid would give Purvi independence - we're $1,300 away.

Purvi lives with low vision from retinitis pigmentosa. The occupational therapist at New Delhi General Hospital has assessed her and recommended a stair-climbing aid. The public scheme doesn't cover it, and the quote from the supplier is $1,300.
Her current equipment is 12 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined her to home for 6 weeks.
With the right equipment Purvi 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.
Funds go toward the equipment, delivery, fitting and a year of servicing.
Where the $1,300 goes:
• stair-climbing aid: $1,200
• Fitting and training sessions: $45
• Delivery and set-up: $10
• First-year servicing plan: $45
Every share and every dollar helps.

Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. My neighbor in Bonny donated after I showed her your page. Take care.
How is Purvi doing now?
Sending good thoughts. I hope things turn around soon. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. Thinking of New Delhi.
Hope things get better soon. Your post was clear and honest. Love from Bursa
