Alamin needs a specialist standing frame - help us make it happen
Help Alamin get a specialist standing frame so He can go to school independently.
🇮🇳 India434 views
I live with an amputation below the knee. My occupational therapist at the Gaya 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 $1,000.
My current equipment is 10 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined me to home for 7 weeks.
With the right equipment I could go to school independently. 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 $1,000 goes:
• Fitting and training sessions: $65
• specialist standing frame: $900
• Delivery and set-up: $35
Glad we found this place.
Updates from Alamin
Quick update: $173 raised so far (17%). we've started the first stage. Receipts coming as soon as I have them.
Good news. Because of your gifts ($73 in total) I made the first payment toward specialist standing frame. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.
Small update. $43 so far, we've started the first stage.

Thinking of you and your family, Alamin. This could happen to any of us. Take care.
Any update on how things are going in Gaya?
Sending good thoughts. I hope things turn around soon. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. Blessings.
Hang in there, Alamin. It takes guts to ask. Well done. God bless
Stay strong, Alamin. This could happen to any of us.
Best of luck. Hope the doctors have good news. Greetings from Londrina.
