Mobility fund: stair-climbing aid for Roberto in Mexicali
Help Roberto get a stair-climbing aid so He can speak with the people around him.
🇲🇽 Mexicali, Baja California, Mexico656 views
Roberto lives with a spinal cord injury. The occupational therapist at the Mexicali Rehabilitation Centre has assessed him and recommended a stair-climbing aid. The public scheme doesn't cover it, and the quote from the supplier is $2,600.
His current equipment is 12 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined him to home for 4 weeks.
With the right equipment Roberto could speak with the people around him. 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 $2,600 goes:
• stair-climbing aid: $2,400
• Fitting and training sessions: $75
• Delivery and set-up: $55
• First-year servicing plan: $70
I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen.

Sending good thoughts. Get well soon. Wish I lived closer to San Diego so I could bring a meal. All the best
Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick. I have a 6 year old who wants to send good wishes too. Take care.
