A specialist standing frame for Collins: help me move freely
Help Collins get a specialist standing frame so He can go to school independently.
🇺🇬 Gulu, Northern Region, Uganda1,056 views
I live with a rare neuromuscular condition. My occupational therapist at Gulu General Hospital 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 7 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: $370
• Fitting and training sessions: $35
• Delivery and set-up: $15
• First-year servicing plan: $30
Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot.

how is Collins doing now?
A colleague of mine might know someone for this in Northern Region. I'll ask around and let you know
Best of luck, Collins. Hope this works out for you. Put this on a community board in Colorado Springs this morning. Blessings.
sending love, Collins. Shared it with a few friends. Greetings from Corpus Christi.
Gave what I could, wish it was more. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. Love from Hồ Chí Minh City.
Rooting for you, Collins. Shared this with my family. Take care.
