A specialist standing frame for Anjali: help Anjali move freely
Anjali needs a specialist standing frame that the health system won't fund; the cost is $950.
🇮🇳 Tamil Nadu, India927 views
Anjali lives with low vision from retinitis pigmentosa. The occupational therapist at the Madurai Rehabilitation Centre has assessed her and recommended a specialist standing frame. The public scheme doesn't cover it, and the quote from the supplier is $950.
Her current equipment is 11 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined her to home for 5 weeks.
With the right equipment Anjali 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.
I'll pay the supplier directly from the funds, and I'll post a photo once the equipment is delivered.
Where the $950 goes:
• specialist standing frame: $830
• Fitting and training sessions: $55
• Delivery and set-up: $20
• First-year servicing plan: $45
I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen.
