Dwarka
Vijay lives with a rare neuromuscular condition. The occupational therapist at the Dwarka 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 $350. His current equipment is 14 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined him to home for 8 weeks. With the right equipment Vijay 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. I'll pay the supplier directly from the funds, and I'll post a photo once the equipment is delivered. Where the $350 goes: • stair-climbing aid: $290 • Fitting and training sessions: $20 • Delivery and set-up: $25 • First-year servicing plan: $15 Every share and every dollar helps.

    Thanks for sharing this. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Blessings.

    • you're not alone, Mythili. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. All the best.

      • Wishing you peace. I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. Thinking of Dwarka

        • Thanks for sharing this. It takes guts to ask. Well done. I'm in hospitality myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you. Love from Kathmandu.
