Varsha needs a stair-climbing aid - help us make it happen
A stair-climbing aid would give Varsha independence - we are $750 away.
🇮🇳 Maharashtra, India1,126 views
Varsha lives with a rare neuromuscular condition. The occupational therapist at the Mumbai Mobility Clinic has assessed her and recommended a stair-climbing aid. The public scheme doesn't cover it, and the quote from the supplier is $750.
Her current equipment is 15 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined her to home for 5 weeks.
With the right equipment Varsha could speak with the people around her. 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 $750 goes:
• stair-climbing aid: $630
• Fitting and training sessions: $30
• Delivery and set-up: $20
• First-year servicing plan: $70
Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot.

Wishing you peace. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day. Greetings from Madurai.
You're not alone, Naveen. Hope the doctors have good news.
Sending love, Naveen. Shared this with my family. I'll check back for the next update. All the best.
