A specialist standing frame for Arjun: help Arjun move freely
Arjun needs a specialist standing frame that the health system won't fund; the cost is $1,350.
🇮🇳 Uttar Pradesh, India1,294 views
Arjun lives with an amputation below the knee. The occupational therapist at Agra General Hospital has assessed him and recommended a specialist standing frame. The public scheme doesn't cover it, and the quote from the supplier is $1,350.
His current equipment is 13 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined him to home for 3 weeks.
With the right equipment Arjun could speak with the people around him. 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.
Funds go toward the equipment, delivery, fitting and a year of servicing.
Where the $1,350 goes:
• specialist standing frame: $1,250
• Fitting and training sessions: $35
• Delivery and set-up: $20
• First-year servicing plan: $45
With deep gratitude,
Vishal
