Mobility fund: specialist standing frame for Sinta in Jakarta Barat
Sinta needs a specialist standing frame that the health system won't fund; the cost is $350.
🇮🇩 Indonesia524 views
Sinta lives with muscular dystrophy. The occupational therapist at the Jakarta Barat Rehabilitation Centre has assessed her and recommended a specialist standing frame. The public scheme doesn't cover it, and the quote from the supplier is $350.
Her current equipment is 9 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined her to home for 12 weeks.
With the right equipment Sinta 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.
Funds go toward the equipment, delivery, fitting and a year of servicing.
Where the $350 goes:
• First-year servicing plan: $25
• Fitting and training sessions: $25
• specialist standing frame: $300
With deep gratitude,
Kirana
Updates from Kirana
Small update. $143 so far, I made the first payment toward first-year servicing plan.
Quick update: $133 raised so far (38%). we've booked the dates and paid the deposit. Receipts coming as soon as I have them.
Update from Jakarta Barat: the plan for specialist standing frame is now scheduled. We're at 24% of the goal. Thank you for believing in us.

Sending good thoughts. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Greetings from Ottawa.
Rooting for you, Kirana. Looking forward to the next update. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. All the best
Take care. Wishing Sinta a smooth procedure and a full recovery. Thinking of Jakarta Barat.
is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Sinta.
Sure. The biggest one is first-year servicing plan, $25. The rest is in the list at the bottom of the post and I'll upload receipts as I pay each one. Appreciate you taking the time.
Thinking of you. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day.
Shared it with a few friends. My neighbor in Bogotá donated after I showed her your page. All the best.
