Summary
Dinson Thomas, a father of a teenage daughter with cerebral palsy, has been manually carrying her up seven stairs daily due to insufficient funding for a lift. This situation underscores a broader issue of carers cutting back on essentials due to high costs of installations like lifts. Thomas nearly slipped while carrying his daughter, highlighting safety concerns. Enable, the company overseeing the installation, has agreed to cover the increased cost, but Thomas still faces a financial burden. The situation raises questions about equity and support systems for families in need. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
