Mobility fund: specialist standing frame for Rashmi in Durgapur
Help Rashmi get a specialist standing frame so She can speak with the people around her.
🇮🇳 India595 views
Rashmi lives with profound hearing loss. The occupational therapist at the Durgapur Mobility Clinic has assessed her and recommended a specialist standing frame. The public scheme doesn't cover it, and the quote from the supplier is $1,150.
Her current equipment is 11 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined her to home for 3 weeks.
With the right equipment Rashmi 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 $1,150 goes:
• specialist standing frame: $1,050
• Fitting and training sessions: $30
• Delivery and set-up: $20
• First-year servicing plan: $50

Shared this with my family. I went through something like this 4 years ago and strangers helped me out. Greetings from Nashik.
Can I help in a way that isn't money? I'm near Durgapur.
Thank you. If you're in Durgapur I'll say if something practical comes up. For now sharing this is great. Happy to explain more.
Wishing you peace. I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double.
Sending good thoughts, Alka. Gave what I could, wish it was more. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry.
Sending strength, Alka. Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick. I'm in customer support myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you
best of luck, Alka. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Sent it to 12 people at work. Greetings from Cork.
