Mobility fund: stair-climbing aid for Tarun in Montgomery

A stair-climbing aid would give Tarun independence - we're $7,850 away.

Tarun lives with profound hearing loss. The occupational therapist at the Montgomery Rehabilitation Centre has assessed him and recommended a stair-climbing aid. The public scheme doesn't cover it, and the quote from the supplier is $7,850. His current equipment is 11 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined him to home for 7 weeks. With the right equipment Tarun 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 $7,850 goes: • stair-climbing aid: $7,250 • Fitting and training sessions: $160 • Delivery and set-up: $230 • First-year servicing plan: $210 Thanks for reading all this.

    Sending good thoughts, Alok. Shared it with a few friends. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. Blessings
