Mobility fund: specialist standing frame for Mukesh in Pune
Mukesh needs a specialist standing frame that the health system will not fund; the cost is $500.
🇮🇳 Maharashtra, India1,092 views
I live with muscular dystrophy. My occupational therapist at the Pune 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 $500.
My current equipment is 13 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined me to home for 10 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 $500 goes:
• Fitting and training sessions: $60
• specialist standing frame: $420
• Delivery and set-up: $20
Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot.
