Independence for Naledi: specialist standing frame

A specialist standing frame would give Naledi independence - we're $1,450 away.

Naledi lives with an amputation below the knee. The occupational therapist at Stellenbosch General Hospital has assessed her and recommended a specialist standing frame. The public scheme doesn't cover it, and the quote from the supplier is $1,450. Her current equipment is 12 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined her to home for 5 weeks. With the right equipment Naledi 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 $1,450 goes: • specialist standing frame: $1,300 • Fitting and training sessions: $60 • Delivery and set-up: $25 • First-year servicing plan: $65 I'll pay this kindness forward the moment I'm able to.

    Praying for you. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Love from Gangnam.

    • So sorry you're going through this. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Sent it to 28 people at work. All the best

        hope you get there. We're a small family in Sylhet but we're thinking of you.
