Independence for Wawan: specialist standing frame
A specialist standing frame would give Wawan independence - we're $450 away.
🇮🇩 Bekasi, West Java, Indonesia768 views
Wawan lives with an amputation below the knee. The occupational therapist at Bekasi General Hospital has assessed him and recommended a specialist standing frame. The public scheme doesn't cover it, and the quote from the supplier is $450.
His current equipment is 15 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined him to home for 10 weeks.
With the right equipment Wawan 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.
I'll pay the supplier directly from the funds, and I'll post a photo once the equipment is delivered.
Where the $450 goes:
• Fitting and training sessions: $60
• specialist standing frame: $330
• First-year servicing plan: $60
You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.

Keep going, Okta. Your post was clear and honest. Greetings from Kakamega.
Keep going, Okta. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too.
Sending good thoughts, Okta. Get well soon. After 28 years in teaching I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Love from Brooklyn.
Thinking of you, Okta. Your post was clear and honest. God bless.
Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Wawan.
Everything on the list is an amount I've been quoted or invoiced. fitting and training sessions comes first ($60) and I'll update the page as each thing gets paid.
Wishing you peace, Okta. Gave what I could, wish it was more. I'm in accounting myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you!
So sorry you're going through this, Okta. Your post was clear and honest. Don't give up.
Hope things get better soon, Okta. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. Greetings from Denpasar
Thinking of you and your family, Okta. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. Take care
