Mobility fund: specialist standing frame for Babar in Lahore
Babar needs a specialist standing frame that the health system won't fund; the cost is $1,100.
🇵🇰 Lahore, Punjab, Pakistan2,356 views
Babar lives with cerebral palsy. The occupational therapist at the Lahore Mobility Clinic has assessed him and recommended a specialist standing frame. The public scheme doesn't cover it, and the quote from the supplier is $1,100.
His current equipment is 15 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined him to home for 6 weeks.
With the right equipment Babar could go outside without waiting for someone to push. 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 $1,100 goes:
• First-year servicing plan: $25
• Fitting and training sessions: $25
• specialist standing frame: $1,050
Glad we found this place.

Updates from Haris
Thank you all. We're at 31% now ($346). I'm honestly stunned. I made the first payment toward first-year servicing plan.
Good news. Because of your gifts ($456 in total) we've booked the dates and paid the deposit. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.
Small update. $146 so far, I met with the supplier and confirmed the amounts.
