Therapy Chair for Peach, Disabled Pekin Duck

Donation protected
Peach is a young Pekin drake who hatched in the first week of August 2018. I brought him and another Pekin home August 11.  By September 13 Peach could no longer stand or walk by himself. After an Xray, it was determined that Peach has scoliosis (Pekins are the only domestic duck breed with this problem, and although not evident at hatching, it can usually be seen by 40 days), a curvature in his spine, and it effects the nerves that control his left leg. Although he retains some flexibility and movement, he only has one working leg. I am doing the best I can to take very good care of him! Although not handy, I have built Peach a few 'mobility devices' to help him get around. However, these are not very good quality and I really think Peach would benefit from a properly-built mobility device. There is a company in Australia that makes 'chicken therapy chairs' and they have a duck-size model that would be so good for Peach! Unfortunately, I am disabled myself, and only have a limited income. A chair for Peach will cost at least $100AUS so I am trying to raise $150USD to cover any modifications or extra shipping costs. If the amount raised exceeds what is needed for the chair, any more donations will go directly to Peach's specialized care. I never expected to have a disabled house-duck, but I really do care for him,  and he impresses and inspires me daily. He has worked so hard to overcome and he has a great attitude all the time. I have documented his life and struggles on Instagram @ohbichonplease and you can keep up with Peach there! Thank you so much for taking the time to read this. And thank you for your help.
