I live with a spinal cord injury. My occupational therapist at the Nashik 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 $450.
My current equipment is 13 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined me to home for 8 weeks.
With the right equipment I could go to school independently. 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 $450 goes:
• specialist standing frame: $380
• Delivery and set-up: $35
• Fitting and training sessions: $35
You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.

thinking of you. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. I hope March is when things finally get easier. Greetings from Ibadan.
so sorry you're going through this, Arjun. Your post was clear and honest. My husband and I read this together.
You're not alone. Looking forward to the next update. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. God bless.
