Mobility fund: specialist standing frame for Nafula in Kisumu
A specialist standing frame would give Nafula independence - we're $1,200 away.

I live with a spinal cord injury. My occupational therapist at Kisumu 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 $1,200.
My current equipment is 8 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined me to home for 7 weeks.
With the right equipment I could go to school independently. 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 $1,200 goes:
• Delivery and set-up: $20
• specialist standing frame: $1,100
• First-year servicing plan: $80
You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.
