Mobility fund: specialist standing frame for Maina in Nairobi
Help Maina get a specialist standing frame so He can join the school sports day.
🇰🇪 Nairobi, Nairobi, Kenya843 views
I live with a rare neuromuscular condition. My occupational therapist at the Nairobi Rehabilitation Centre 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 12 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined me to home for 6 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.
Funds go toward the equipment, delivery, fitting and a year of servicing.
Where the $850 goes:
• specialist standing frame: $740
• Fitting and training sessions: $55
• Delivery and set-up: $30
• First-year servicing plan: $25
If you're reading this, thank you.
