Independence for Nithya: specialist standing frame
Nithya needs a specialist standing frame that the health system will not fund; the cost is $700.
🇮🇳 Lucknow, Uttar Pradesh, India826 views
Nithya lives with profound hearing loss. The occupational therapist at Lucknow 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 $700.
Her current equipment is 12 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined her to home for 3 weeks.
With the right equipment Nithya could join the school sports day. 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 $700 goes:
• Fitting and training sessions: $25
• First-year servicing plan: $40
• specialist standing frame: $635
I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen.
