A specialist standing frame for Komal: help Komal move freely
Komal needs a specialist standing frame that the health system won't fund; the cost is $1,000.

Komal lives with an amputation below the knee. The occupational therapist at the Durgapur Mobility Clinic has assessed her and recommended a specialist standing frame. The public scheme doesn't cover it, and the quote from the supplier is $1,000.
Her current equipment is 11 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined her to home for 10 weeks.
With the right equipment Komal could join the school sports day. 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.
I'll pay the supplier directly from the funds, and I'll post a photo once the equipment is delivered.
Where the $1,000 goes:
• specialist standing frame: $900
• Fitting and training sessions: $40
• Delivery and set-up: $15
• First-year servicing plan: $45
Thanks for reading all this.

thinking of you. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like.
So sorry you're going through this, Neelam. Hope you get there
