Parvathi needs a specialist standing frame - help us make it happen
A specialist standing frame would give Parvathi independence - we're $800 away.
🇮🇳 India456 views
Parvathi lives with a spinal cord injury. The occupational therapist at the Saket 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 $800.
Her current equipment is 9 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined her to home for 10 weeks.
With the right equipment Parvathi 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 $800 goes:
• Delivery and set-up: $10
• specialist standing frame: $770
• Fitting and training sessions: $20
Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.

Sending love, Dhanalakshmi. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. All the best.
Rooting for you, Dhanalakshmi. I hope things turn around soon. Greetings from Hải Phòng.
