Sadie needs a stair-climbing aid - help us make it happen
Sadie needs a stair-climbing aid that the health system won't fund; the cost is $800.
🇺🇸 Phoenix, Arizona, United States626 views
Sadie lives with a spinal cord injury. The occupational therapist at the Phoenix 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 $800.
Her current equipment is 12 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined her to home for 10 weeks.
With the right equipment Sadie 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 $800 goes:
• Delivery and set-up: $75
• First-year servicing plan: $430
• Fitting and training sessions: $295

Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Sadie.
Delivery and set-up is $75 of it. Everything else is listed in the story and nothing outside that list comes out of this page. Thanks for asking.
I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. Thinking of Phoenix.
Wishing you the best. Wishing Sadie a smooth procedure and a full recovery.
thinking of you. I hope things turn around soon. Please keep us posted. Blessings
