Independence for Arun: specialist standing frame
Help Arun get a specialist standing frame so He can go outside without waiting for someone to push.
🇮🇳 Gaya, Bihar, India1,411 views
Arun lives with multiple sclerosis. The occupational therapist at Gaya 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 $1,350.
His current equipment is 9 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined him to home for 5 weeks.
With the right equipment Arun could go outside without waiting for someone to push. 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 $1,350 goes:
• specialist standing frame: $1,300
• First-year servicing plan: $35
• Delivery and set-up: $15
Thanks for reading all this.
