Skylar needs a stair-climbing aid that the health system won't fund; the cost is $7,950.

Red Deer
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: โ€ข stair-climbing aid: $7,250 โ€ข Fitting and training sessions: $350 โ€ข Delivery and set-up: $170 โ€ข First-year servicing plan: $180 Thank you for reading my story.
