Mobility fund: stair-climbing aid for Yasir in Abbottabad
A stair-climbing aid would give Yasir independence - we're $1,050 away.

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

Gave what I could, wish it was more. Please keep us posted. Thinking of Abbottabad.
Stay strong, Yasir. Looking forward to the next update. Love from Chattogram.
I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Wish I lived closer to Arlington so I could bring a meal
