Independence for Naveen: specialist standing frame
A specialist standing frame would give Naveen independence - we're $6,450 away.
🇬🇧 United Kingdom2,453 views
Naveen lives with low vision from retinitis pigmentosa. The occupational therapist at the London 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 $6,450.
His current equipment is 12 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined him to home for 10 weeks.
With the right equipment Naveen could attend work interviews. 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.
Funds go toward the equipment, delivery, fitting and a year of servicing.
Where the $6,450 goes:
• Delivery and set-up: $95
• specialist standing frame: $6,250
• Fitting and training sessions: $105
I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.

Sending good thoughts, Divya. Hope you get there. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double
Rooting for you, Divya. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. Put this on a community board in Nairobi this morning. Blessings.
Hang in there. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. I went through something like this 5 years ago and strangers helped me out. Thinking of London
