🇮🇳 India593 views
Balaji lives with muscular dystrophy. The occupational therapist at Nagpur 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 9 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined him to home for 7 weeks.
With the right equipment Balaji could get to the shops and visit friends. 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:
• specialist standing frame: $380
• Fitting and training sessions: $45
• Delivery and set-up: $15
• First-year servicing plan: $10
Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot.

Good news. Because of your gifts ($19 in total) we've started the first stage. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.
4% there. I met with the supplier and confirmed the amounts. Thank you.
Thank you all. We're at 2% now ($10). I'm honestly stunned. the plan for fitting and training sessions is now scheduled.
