Omolara needs a specialist standing frame - help us make it happen
Help Omolara get a specialist standing frame so She can speak with the people around her.
🇳🇬 Lagos, Lagos, Nigeria867 views
Omolara lives with profound hearing loss. The occupational therapist at Lagos General Hospital has assessed her and recommended a specialist standing frame. The public scheme doesn't cover it, and the quote from the supplier is $1,100.
Her current equipment is 15 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined her to home for 6 weeks.
With the right equipment Omolara could speak with the people around her. 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 $1,100 goes:
• specialist standing frame: $1,000
• Fitting and training sessions: $45
• Delivery and set-up: $25
• First-year servicing plan: $30
Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.

wishing you peace. Gave what I could, wish it was more. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. Greetings from Moscow.
rooting for you, Seyi. Looking forward to the next update. Take care.
Praying for you. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Thinking of Lagos!
