A specialist standing frame for Uzma: help Uzma move freely
A specialist standing frame would give Uzma independence - we're $1,100 away.
🇵🇰 Pakistan1,627 views
Uzma lives with an amputation below the knee. The occupational therapist at the Karachi 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 13 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined her to home for 5 weeks.
With the right equipment Uzma 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 $1,100 goes:
• specialist standing frame: $1,000
• Fitting and training sessions: $50
• Delivery and set-up: $20
• First-year servicing plan: $30
Glad we found this place.

Small update. $85 so far, the first invoice got paid this week. - Sadia
Thank you all. We're at 17% now ($185). I'm honestly stunned. the first invoice got paid this week.
Good news. Because of your gifts ($279 in total) the plan for delivery and set-up is now scheduled. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.

Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Uzma
The list at the bottom is the whole picture. specialist standing frame is the biggest at $1,000. Thanks for looking so closely.

Thanks for sharing this, Sadia. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. After 14 years in logistics I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Blessings.
