A specialist standing frame for Shima: help Shima move freely

Shima lives with multiple sclerosis. The occupational therapist at the Thrissur 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 $1,450. Her current equipment is 11 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined her to home for 3 weeks. With the right equipment Shima could attend work interviews. 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 $1,450 goes: • specialist standing frame: $1,400 • Delivery and set-up: $15 • Fitting and training sessions: $35 If you can't give, please share this page. It does reach people. - Nahid

Updates from Nahid

  1. Good news. Because of your gifts ($85 in total) I made the first payment toward delivery and set-up. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.

  2. Wanted to say thank you properly. 21% funded and I met with the supplier and confirmed the amounts. - Nahid
