A specialist standing frame for Inés: help Inés move freely
Inés needs a specialist standing frame that the health system won't fund; the cost is $1,100.
🇨🇴 Medellín, Antioquia, Colombia459 views
Inés lives with a rare neuromuscular condition. The occupational therapist at the Medellín 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 $1,100.
Her current equipment is 12 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined her to home for 5 weeks.
With the right equipment Inés could go outside without waiting for someone to push. 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 $1,100 goes:
• specialist standing frame: $1,000
• Fitting and training sessions: $35
• Delivery and set-up: $65
Thank you so much.
