Travis needs a stair-climbing aid - help us make it happen

A stair-climbing aid would give Travis independence - we are $3,450 away.

Travis lives with cerebral palsy. The occupational therapist at the London Rehabilitation Centre has assessed him and recommended a stair-climbing aid. The public scheme doesn't cover it, and the quote from the supplier is $3,450. His current equipment is 11 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined him to home for 7 weeks. With the right equipment Travis 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 $3,450 goes: • stair-climbing aid: $2,950 • Fitting and training sessions: $240 • Delivery and set-up: $95 • First-year servicing plan: $165 Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself. - Easton
