Mobility fund: specialist standing frame for Hằng in Da Nang
A specialist standing frame would give Hằng independence - we're $650 away.
🇻🇳 Da Nang, Da Nang, Vietnam1,159 views
Hằng lives with low vision from retinitis pigmentosa. The occupational therapist at the Da Nang 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 $650.
Her current equipment is 12 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined her to home for 4 weeks.
With the right equipment Hằng 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 $650 goes:
• specialist standing frame: $510
• Fitting and training sessions: $35
• Delivery and set-up: $25
• First-year servicing plan: $80
Thank you for reading my story.

I hope things turn around soon. Put this on a community board in Kharkiv this morning. Love from Kharkiv
Thinking of you and your family, Nghĩa. Wishing Hằng a smooth procedure and a full recovery. All the best.
is there anything that isn't money that would help Hằng?
Sharing the link is the biggest thing. And if you know anything about specialist standing frame, advice is welcome too. Good question.
Hope this works out for you. Thinking of Da Nang.
Hope things get better soon, Nghĩa. I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected.
shared this with my family. My neighbor had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. Thinking of Da Nang
