Ryan needs a stair-climbing aid that the health system won't fund; the cost is $650.

Ryan lives with multiple sclerosis. The occupational therapist at Brooklyn General Hospital has assessed him and recommended a stair-climbing aid. The public scheme doesn't cover it, and the quote from the supplier is $650.
His current equipment is 9 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined him to home for 4 weeks.
With the right equipment Ryan could go to school independently. 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 $650 goes:
• Delivery and set-up: $170
• First-year servicing plan: $280
• Fitting and training sessions: $200
Thanks for being kind about this.

Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick. It's not much but it's yours. Greetings from Jaipur.
Hope things get better soon, Emily. Shared it with a few friends. All the best!
So sorry you're going through this. I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. We're a small family in Houston but we're thinking of you. God bless
