Mobility fund: stair-climbing aid for Shweta in Howrah

Shweta lives with an amputation below the knee. The occupational therapist at the Howrah 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 $1,100. Her current equipment is 14 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined her to home for 7 weeks. With the right equipment Shweta could attend work interviews. 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 $1,100 goes: • stair-climbing aid: $1,000 • Fitting and training sessions: $35 • Delivery and set-up: $15 • First-year servicing plan: $50 If you can't give, please share this page. It does reach people.
