Mobility fund: specialist standing frame for Mansi in Kolkata
Help Mansi get a specialist standing frame so She can attend work interviews.
🇮🇳 Kolkata, West Bengal, India674 views
I live with a rare neuromuscular condition. My occupational therapist at Kolkata 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 $400.
My current equipment is 12 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined me to home for 5 weeks.
With the right equipment I could attend work interviews. 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 $400 goes:
• specialist standing frame: $260
• Fitting and training sessions: $60
• Delivery and set-up: $20
• First-year servicing plan: $60
Ask me anything below before you decide. I'd rather you were sure.

Good news. Because of your gifts ($292 in total) I made the first payment toward fitting and training sessions. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.

Take care. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. It's not much but it's yours. All the best.
Thinking of you and your family, Mansi. Get well soon
Sending strength, Mansi. Wishing Mansi a smooth procedure and a full recovery. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money.
