Mobility fund: specialist standing frame for Juma in Thika
Help Juma get a specialist standing frame so He can join the school sports day.
🇰🇪 Thika, Kiambu, Kenya415 views
I live with an amputation below the knee. My occupational therapist at Thika General Hospital has assessed me and recommended a specialist standing frame. The public scheme doesn't cover it, and the quote from the supplier is $150.
My current equipment is 12 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined me to home for 8 weeks.
With the right equipment I could join the school sports day. 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.
I'll pay the supplier directly from the funds, and I'll post a photo once the equipment is delivered.
Where the $150 goes:
• First-year servicing plan: $45
• Fitting and training sessions: $55
• Delivery and set-up: $50
Thanks for reading all this.

Keep going. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. I went through something like this 6 years ago and strangers helped me out. All the best
Thanks for sharing this, Juma. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes
