I live with a spinal cord injury. My occupational therapist at George General Hospital has assessed me and recommended a stair-climbing aid. The public scheme doesn't cover it, and the quote from the supplier is $1,200.
My current equipment is 11 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined me to home for 5 weeks.
With the right equipment I could join the school sports day. It would change my everyday life and my ability to work from home.
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 $1,200 goes:
โข stair-climbing aid: $1,050
โข Fitting and training sessions: $80
โข Delivery and set-up: $15
โข First-year servicing plan: $55
I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen.
