Mobility fund: stair-climbing aid for Skylar in Red Deer
Skylar needs a stair-climbing aid that the health system won't fund; the cost is $7,950.

Skylar lives with profound hearing loss. The occupational therapist at Red Deer 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 $7,950.
Her current equipment is 15 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined her to home for 4 weeks.
With the right equipment Skylar 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.
I'll pay the supplier directly from the funds, and I'll post a photo once the equipment is delivered.
Where the $7,950 goes:
• stair-climbing aid: $7,250
• Fitting and training sessions: $350
• Delivery and set-up: $170
• First-year servicing plan: $180
Thank you for reading my story.
