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

Hussein lives with an amputation below the knee. The occupational therapist at the Jeddah Rehabilitation Centre has assessed him and recommended a specialist standing frame. The public scheme doesn't cover it, and the quote from the supplier is $3,750.
His current equipment is 8 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined him to home for 3 weeks.
With the right equipment Hussein 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 $3,750 goes:
• specialist standing frame: $3,500
• Fitting and training sessions: $100
• Delivery and set-up: $55
• First-year servicing plan: $95
I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen.
