Mobility fund: specialist standing frame for Umesh in Amritsar
A specialist standing frame would give Umesh independence - we're $1,350 away.
🇮🇳 Amritsar, Punjab, India605 views
Umesh lives with a spinal cord injury. The occupational therapist at the Amritsar Rehabilitation Centre has assessed him and recommended a specialist standing frame. The public scheme doesn't cover it, and the quote from the supplier is $1,350.
His current equipment is 12 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined him to home for 10 weeks.
With the right equipment Umesh could join the school sports day. 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 $1,350 goes:
• Fitting and training sessions: $55
• Delivery and set-up: $10
• specialist standing frame: $1,285
I'll pay this kindness forward the moment I'm able to.

Hang in there, Shailesh. Hope this works out for you. All the best
Take care, Shailesh. Get well soon. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Take care.
Hope the doctors have good news. I'll check back for the next update. All the best
