Independence for Kumar: specialist standing frame
Kumar needs a specialist standing frame that the health system won't fund; the cost is $350.

I live with multiple sclerosis. My occupational therapist at Aurangabad 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 $350.
My current equipment is 8 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined me to home for 7 weeks.
With the right equipment I could attend work interviews. 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 $350 goes:
• specialist standing frame: $320
• Delivery and set-up: $10
• First-year servicing plan: $20
I hope life is good to you.

Sending strength, Kumar. Hope you get there. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry.
