Mobility fund: specialist standing frame for Sameer in Rohini
Sameer needs a specialist standing frame that the health system won't fund; the cost is $900.

I live with low vision from retinitis pigmentosa. My occupational therapist at Rohini 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 $900.
My current equipment is 9 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined me to home for 4 weeks.
With the right equipment I could speak with the people around him. 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 $900 goes:
• specialist standing frame: $750
• Fitting and training sessions: $65
• Delivery and set-up: $15
• First-year servicing plan: $70
You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.
