Independence for Farhana: specialist standing frame
Help Farhana get a specialist standing frame so She can get to the shops and visit friends.
🇧🇩 Dhaka, Dhaka, Bangladesh1,745 views
Farhana lives with muscular dystrophy. The occupational therapist at the Dhaka Mobility Clinic has assessed her and recommended a specialist standing frame. The public scheme doesn't cover it, and the quote from the supplier is $550.
Her current equipment is 10 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined her to home for 6 weeks.
With the right equipment Farhana 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 $550 goes:
• specialist standing frame: $480
• Fitting and training sessions: $35
• Delivery and set-up: $20
• First-year servicing plan: $15
Thanks for being kind about this.

you're not alone. Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick. God bless.
I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. Love from Bogotá
Take care, Rahima. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day. All the best
