A specialist standing frame for Vrushali: help me move freely
Vrushali needs a specialist standing frame that the health system won't fund; the cost is $100.
🇮🇳 Nashik, Maharashtra, India463 views
I live with low vision from retinitis pigmentosa. My occupational therapist at the Nashik Rehabilitation Centre has assessed me and recommended a specialist standing frame. The public scheme doesn't cover it, and the quote from the supplier is $100.
My current equipment is 12 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined me to home for 12 weeks.
With the right equipment I could speak with the people around her. It would change my everyday life and my ability to work from home.
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 $100 goes:
• First-year servicing plan: $30
• Delivery and set-up: $15
• Fitting and training sessions: $55
With deep gratitude,
Vrushali
