Musyoka needs a stair-climbing aid - help us make it happen
A stair-climbing aid would give Musyoka independence - we're $905 away.
🇺🇬 Kampala, Central Region, Uganda2,106 views
I live with profound hearing loss. My occupational therapist at Kampala 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 $905.
My current equipment is 15 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined me to home for 4 weeks.
With the right equipment I could join the school sports day. 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.
I'll pay the supplier directly from the funds, and I'll post a photo once the equipment is delivered.
Where the $905 goes:
• stair-climbing aid: $890
• Delivery and set-up: $10
• Fitting and training sessions: $5
I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen.

Hang in there, Musyoka. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. My husband and I read this together.
What's already covered and what's the $905 for?
Everything on the list is an amount I've been quoted or invoiced. stair-climbing aid comes first ($890) and I'll update the page as each thing gets paid. Ask me anything else.
So sorry you're going through this, Musyoka. Shared this with my family.
good luck. Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick. Take care.
Good luck. Looking forward to the next update. Greetings from Machakos.
Thinking of you and your family. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. I'm in engineering myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you.
