A specialist standing frame for Shafiq: help Shafiq move freely
Help Shafiq get a specialist standing frame so He can go to school independently.
🇧🇩 Savar, Dhaka, Bangladesh918 views
Shafiq lives with cerebral palsy. The occupational therapist at the Savar Mobility Clinic has assessed him and recommended a specialist standing frame. The public scheme doesn't cover it, and the quote from the supplier is $900.
His current equipment is 12 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined him to home for 6 weeks.
With the right equipment Shafiq could go to school independently. 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 $900 goes:
• specialist standing frame: $810
• Fitting and training sessions: $15
• Delivery and set-up: $15
• First-year servicing plan: $60
