Independence for Bhavna: specialist standing frame
Bhavna needs a specialist standing frame that the health system won't fund; the cost is $1,400.

I live with cerebral palsy. My occupational therapist at Howrah General Hospital has assessed me and recommended a specialist standing frame. The public scheme doesn't cover it, and the quote from the supplier is $1,400.
My current equipment is 8 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined me to home for 4 weeks.
With the right equipment I could get to the shops and visit friends. 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.
Funds go toward the equipment, delivery, fitting and a year of servicing.
Where the $1,400 goes:
• specialist standing frame: $1,350
• Fitting and training sessions: $25
• Delivery and set-up: $10
• First-year servicing plan: $15

stay strong. Wishing Bhavna a smooth procedure and a full recovery. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double.
Sending strength. I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. I'll check back for the next update
Hope things get better soon. Get well soon. After 15 years in nursing I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Love from Anaheim.
