Mobility fund: specialist standing frame for Esther in Abuja
A specialist standing frame would give Esther independence - we are $1,250 away.
🇳🇬 Abuja, Abuja FCT, Nigeria1,042 views
Esther lives with an amputation below the knee. The occupational therapist at the Abuja Rehabilitation Centre has assessed her and recommended a specialist standing frame. The public scheme doesn't cover it, and the quote from the supplier is $1,250.
Her current equipment is 11 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined her to home for 10 weeks.
With the right equipment Esther could speak with the people around her. 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 $1,250 goes:
• Delivery and set-up: $10
• specialist standing frame: $1,200
• Fitting and training sessions: $40
I'll pay this kindness forward the moment I'm able to.
Updates from Seyi
Good news. Because of your gifts ($51 in total) I met with the supplier and confirmed the amounts. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.

Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. I'll check back for the next update. Thinking of Abuja.
gave what I could, wish it was more. Wish I lived closer to Pune so I could bring a meal. All the best
