Independence for Salman: specialist standing frame
Salman needs a specialist standing frame that the health system won't fund; the cost is $100.
🇵🇰 Gujranwala, Punjab, Pakistan600 views
I live with a spinal cord injury. My occupational therapist at the Gujranwala Rehabilitation Centre has assessed me and recommended a specialist standing frame. The public scheme doesn't cover it, and the quote from the supplier is $100.
My current equipment is 14 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined me to home for 8 weeks.
With the right equipment I could join the school sports day. 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.
Funds go toward the equipment, delivery, fitting and a year of servicing.
Where the $100 goes:
• First-year servicing plan: $25
• Fitting and training sessions: $45
• Delivery and set-up: $30
I'll pay this kindness forward the moment I'm able to.
