Mobility fund: specialist standing frame for Fatuma in Dodoma
Help Fatuma get a specialist standing frame so She can attend work interviews.
🇹🇿 Dodoma, Dodoma, Tanzania2,536 views
Fatuma lives with cerebral palsy. The occupational therapist at Dodoma 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 $1,150.
Her current equipment is 10 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined her to home for 3 weeks.
With the right equipment Fatuma 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.
I'll pay the supplier directly from the funds, and I'll post a photo once the equipment is delivered.
Where the $1,150 goes:
• specialist standing frame: $1,050
• Fitting and training sessions: $40
• Delivery and set-up: $25
• First-year servicing plan: $35
I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.

hang in there, Halima. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day.
Best of luck. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. It's not much but it's yours. Blessings.
You're not alone. Looking forward to the next update. Thinking of Dodoma.
wishing Fatuma a smooth procedure and a full recovery.
Keep going, Halima. Shared it with a few friends.
