I live with an amputation below the knee. My occupational therapist at the Lagos Mobility Clinic has assessed me and recommended a specialist standing frame. The public scheme doesn't cover it, and the quote from the supplier is $1,050. My current equipment is 11 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined me to home for 3 weeks. With the right equipment I could attend work interviews. It would change my everyday life and my ability to work from home. 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 $1,050 goes: • specialist standing frame: $940 • Fitting and training sessions: $60 • Delivery and set-up: $10 • First-year servicing plan: $40 Thank you for reading my story.
