Wambui needs a specialist standing frame that the health system won't fund; the cost is $1,000.

Wambui lives with profound hearing loss. The occupational therapist at the Mombasa Mobility Clinic has assessed her and recommended a specialist standing frame. The public scheme doesn't cover it, and the quote from the supplier is $1,000. Her current equipment is 15 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined her to home for 4 weeks. With the right equipment Wambui could go outside without waiting for someone to push. 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 $1,000 goes: โ€ข Delivery and set-up: $25 โ€ข First-year servicing plan: $25 โ€ข specialist standing frame: $950 Thank you so much. - Amani
