I live with profound hearing loss. My occupational therapist at the Dwarka Rehabilitation Centre has assessed me and recommended a stair-climbing aid. The public scheme doesn't cover it, and the quote from the supplier is $700. My current equipment is 8 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined me to home for 12 weeks. With the right equipment I could get to the shops and visit friends. 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 $700 goes: โ€ข First-year servicing plan: $50 โ€ข stair-climbing aid: $620 โ€ข Fitting and training sessions: $30 You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.

Updates from Subramanian

  1. Small update. $285 so far, I met with the supplier and confirmed the amounts.

  2. Wanted to say thank you properly. 85% funded and the plan for stair-climbing aid is now scheduled.

  3. Good news. Because of your gifts ($382 in total) I made the first payment toward first-year servicing plan. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.
