Mobility fund: specialist standing frame for Femi in Ikeja
A specialist standing frame would give Femi independence - we're $1,000 away.
🇳🇬 Ikeja, Lagos, Nigeria1,440 views
Femi lives with a spinal cord injury. The occupational therapist at the Ikeja Rehabilitation Centre has assessed him and recommended a specialist standing frame. The public scheme doesn't cover it, and the quote from the supplier is $1,000.
His current equipment is 12 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined him to home for 7 weeks.
With the right equipment Femi could go to school independently. 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 $1,000 goes:
• specialist standing frame: $940
• Fitting and training sessions: $25
• Delivery and set-up: $20
• First-year servicing plan: $15
I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen.

Hang in there, Sani. It takes guts to ask. Well done. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. Love from Chiang Mai
