Lucy needs a specialist standing frame - help us make it happen
A specialist standing frame would give Lucy independence - we're $1,050 away.
🇰🇪 Kenya931 views
Lucy lives with multiple sclerosis. The occupational therapist at Nairobi General Hospital has assessed her and recommended a specialist standing frame. The public scheme doesn't cover it, and the quote from the supplier is $1,050.
Her current equipment is 15 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined her to home for 5 weeks.
With the right equipment Lucy could attend work interviews. 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.
Funds go toward the equipment, delivery, fitting and a year of servicing.
Where the $1,050 goes:
• Fitting and training sessions: $30
• specialist standing frame: $1,000
• Delivery and set-up: $20
Glad we found this place.

Shared this with my family. Don't give up. Greetings from Buffalo.
You're not alone. It takes guts to ask. Well done. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. Take care.
