Mobility fund: specialist standing frame for Irfan in Abbottabad
A specialist standing frame would give Irfan independence - we're $850 away.

I live with a spinal cord injury. My occupational therapist at the Abbottabad Mobility Clinic has assessed me and recommended a specialist standing frame. The public scheme doesn't cover it, and the quote from the supplier is $850.
My current equipment is 11 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined me to home for 6 weeks.
With the right equipment I could go outside without waiting for someone to push. It would change my everyday life and my ability to work from home.
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 $850 goes:
• specialist standing frame: $760
• Fitting and training sessions: $25
• Delivery and set-up: $25
• First-year servicing plan: $40
If you're reading this, thank you.

Updates from Irfan
Update from Abbottabad: we've started the first stage. We're at 39% of the goal. Thank you for believing in us.
Good news. Because of your gifts ($35 in total) the plan for specialist standing frame is now scheduled. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.

So sorry you're going through this, Irfan. This could happen to any of us. Wish I lived closer to Mekelle so I could bring a meal. Blessings.
So sorry you're going through this. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Sent it to 21 people at work. Take care!
