Neema needs a stair-climbing aid - help us make it happen
Help Neema get a stair-climbing aid so She can join the school sports day.
🇰🇪 Eldoret, Uasin Gishu, Kenya1,128 views
Neema lives with a spinal cord injury. The occupational therapist at the Eldoret Rehabilitation Centre has assessed her and recommended a stair-climbing aid. The public scheme doesn't cover it, and the quote from the supplier is $1,300.
Her current equipment is 10 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined her to home for 5 weeks.
With the right equipment Neema could join the school sports day. 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.
Funds go toward the equipment, delivery, fitting and a year of servicing.
Where the $1,300 goes:
• stair-climbing aid: $1,150
• Fitting and training sessions: $45
• Delivery and set-up: $35
• First-year servicing plan: $70
Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot.

You're not alone, Mukasa. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Greetings from Jimma.
Good luck, Mukasa. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Love from Kraków.
Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Neema
The list at the bottom is the whole picture. stair-climbing aid is the biggest at $1,150. Happy to explain more.
Thinking of you and your family, Mukasa. It takes guts to ask. Well done. I'm in construction myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you
How is Neema doing now?
Hope things get better soon, Mukasa. Gave what I could, wish it was more. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. God bless.
You're not alone, Mukasa. I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side.
Hope things get better soon. Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick. I hope December is when things finally get easier. God bless
Hang in there, Mukasa. Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick. I have a 17 year old who wants to send good wishes too. Love from Petrópolis
So sorry you're going through this, Mukasa. Wishing Neema a smooth procedure and a full recovery. My cousin had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. God bless.
