Mobility fund: stair-climbing aid for Yasir in Abbottabad

A stair-climbing aid would give Yasir independence - we're $1,050 away.

Abbottabad
I live with muscular dystrophy. My occupational therapist at Abbottabad General Hospital has assessed me and recommended a stair-climbing aid. The public scheme doesn't cover it, and the quote from the supplier is $1,050. My current equipment is 12 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined me to home for 5 weeks. With the right equipment I could attend work interviews. It would change my everyday life and my ability to work from home. 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 $1,050 goes: ā€¢ Fitting and training sessions: $35 ā€¢ stair-climbing aid: $950 ā€¢ First-year servicing plan: $65 With deep gratitude, Yasir
