Teresa needs a stair-climbing aid - help us make it happen
Teresa needs a stair-climbing aid that the health system won't fund; the cost is $5,300.
🇺🇸 Montgomery, Alabama, United States5,364 views
Teresa lives with cerebral palsy. The occupational therapist at the Montgomery 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 $5,300.
Her current equipment is 10 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined her to home for 12 weeks.
With the right equipment Teresa could attend work interviews. 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 $5,300 goes:
• stair-climbing aid: $4,750
• Delivery and set-up: $145
• Fitting and training sessions: $405
Thank you so much.

you're not alone, Levi. Hope the doctors have good news. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust. Blessings.
Sending good thoughts. I hope things turn around soon. We're a small family in Istanbul but we're thinking of you
Hang in there, Levi. Hope you get there.
Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Thinking of Montgomery.
Hang in there, Levi. Hope you get there. Put this on a community board in Amiens this morning
Wishing you the best, Levi. I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. After 14 years in public service I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Thinking of Montgomery
