Independence for Bilal: specialist standing frame

Help Bilal get a specialist standing frame so He can get to the shops and visit friends.

Bilal lives with an amputation below the knee. The occupational therapist at the Casablanca Mobility Clinic has assessed him and recommended a specialist standing frame. The public scheme doesn't cover it, and the quote from the supplier is $1,500. His current equipment is 9 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined him to home for 10 weeks. With the right equipment Bilal 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. I'll pay the supplier directly from the funds, and I'll post a photo once the equipment is delivered. Where the $1,500 goes: • specialist standing frame: $1,400 • First-year servicing plan: $45 • Fitting and training sessions: $55 Thank you so much.
