Mobility fund: specialist standing frame for Ngozi in Wudil
Ngozi needs a specialist standing frame that the health system will not fund; the cost is $450.
🇳🇬 Wudil, Kano, Nigeria1,018 views
Ngozi lives with cerebral palsy. The occupational therapist at Wudil General Hospital has assessed her and recommended a specialist standing frame. The public scheme doesn't cover it, and the quote from the supplier is $450.
Her current equipment is 15 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined her to home for 6 weeks.
With the right equipment Ngozi could speak with the people around her. It would change everyday life for the whole family.
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 $450 goes:
• specialist standing frame: $380
• Delivery and set-up: $15
• First-year servicing plan: $55
I'll pay this kindness forward the moment I'm able to.

Thanks for sharing this, Bolaji. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. I hope May is when things finally get easier!
Thinking of you, Bolaji. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. I hope May is when things finally get easier.
sending love, Bolaji. Shared this with my family. All the best
is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Ngozi
Sure. The biggest one is specialist standing frame, $380. The rest is in the list at the bottom of the post and I'll upload receipts as I pay each one. Ask me anything else.
Rooting for you, Bolaji. Hope this works out for you.
Stay strong, Bolaji. Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick.
Hope it all works out, Bolaji. Hope you get there. After 29 years in hospitality I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Take care
Good luck. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. God bless.
Praying for you, Bolaji. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Wish I lived closer to İzmir so I could bring a meal. Greetings from Vancouver.
