Mobility fund: specialist standing frame for Veronika in Kyiv
A specialist standing frame would give Veronika independence - we're $1,150 away.
🇺🇦 Kyiv, Ukraine1,992 views
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.

Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick. Put this on a community board in Uberlândia this morning
Keep going. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Sent it to 30 people at work. Love from Adelaide
Hope it all works out. Hope the doctors have good news. Wish I lived closer to Leeds so I could bring a meal.
Looking forward to the next update. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. Love from Ann Arbor.
