Independence for Rubina: specialist standing frame
Rubina needs a specialist standing frame that the health system will not fund; the cost is $950.

I live with a spinal cord injury. My occupational therapist at Chattogram 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 $950.
My current equipment is 12 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined me to home for 3 weeks.
With the right equipment I could go to school independently. 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.
I'll pay the supplier directly from the funds, and I'll post a photo once the equipment is delivered.
Where the $950 goes:
• specialist standing frame: $870
• Fitting and training sessions: $25
• Delivery and set-up: $10
• First-year servicing plan: $45
With deep gratitude,
Rubina
