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
