Mobility fund: specialist standing frame for Veronika in Kyiv

A specialist standing frame would give Veronika independence - we're $1,150 away.

Veronika lives with a rare neuromuscular condition. The occupational therapist at the Kyiv 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 $1,150. Her current equipment is 13 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined her to home for 10 weeks. With the right equipment Veronika could get to the shops and visit friends. 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 $1,150 goes: • specialist standing frame: $1,000 • Fitting and training sessions: $30 • Delivery and set-up: $40 • First-year servicing plan: $80 Thank you for reading my story.
