A specialist standing frame for Atim: help me move freely
A specialist standing frame would give Atim independence - we're $450 away.
🇰🇪 Kenya975 views
I live with an amputation below the knee. My occupational therapist at the Kasarani Mobility Clinic 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 15 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined me to home for 8 weeks.
With the right equipment I could get to the shops and visit friends. 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: $370
• Fitting and training sessions: $20
• Delivery and set-up: $15
• First-year servicing plan: $45
Thank you for reading my story.

Sending love, Atim. Looking forward to the next update. My brother had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. Take care.
Sending love, Atim. Shared it with a few friends.
You're not alone, Atim. Hope the doctors have good news. Thinking of Kasarani
