Kunal needs a specialist standing frame - help us make it happen
A specialist standing frame would give Kunal independence - we're $850 away.
🇮🇳 India743 views
I live with muscular dystrophy. My occupational therapist at the Mangaluru Mobility Clinic has assessed me and recommended a specialist standing frame. The public scheme doesn't cover it, and the quote from the supplier is $850.
My current equipment is 13 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 $850 goes:
• specialist standing frame: $770
• First-year servicing plan: $30
• Delivery and set-up: $50
I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.
