Ihor needs a specialist standing frame - help us make it happen
A specialist standing frame would give Ihor independence - we're $1,400 away.

Ihor lives with a rare neuromuscular condition. The occupational therapist at Zaporizhzhia General Hospital has assessed him and recommended a specialist standing frame. The public scheme doesn't cover it, and the quote from the supplier is $1,400.
His current equipment is 12 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined him to home for 12 weeks.
With the right equipment Ihor could get to the shops and visit friends. 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 $1,400 goes:
• Fitting and training sessions: $60
• specialist standing frame: $1,300
• Delivery and set-up: $40
I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.

Best of luck, Maryna. Hope this works out for you. Thinking of Zaporizhzhia.
a colleague of mine might know someone for this in Zaporizhzhia Oblast. I'll ask around and let you know.
This could happen to any of us. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. Take care.
Hope things get better soon. Shared it with a few friends. We're a small family in Jimma but we're thinking of you. Blessings.
