A specialist standing frame for Aishwarya: help me move freely
Aishwarya needs a specialist standing frame that the health system won't fund; the cost is $400.
🇮🇳 Mangaluru, Karnataka, India1,551 views
I live with muscular dystrophy. My occupational therapist at the Mangaluru Rehabilitation Centre has assessed me and recommended a specialist standing frame. The public scheme doesn't cover it, and the quote from the supplier is $400.
My current equipment is 15 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined me to home for 3 weeks.
With the right equipment I could join the school sports day. It would change my everyday life and my ability to work from home.
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 $400 goes:
• specialist standing frame: $340
• Fitting and training sessions: $25
• First-year servicing plan: $35
Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot.
