Rakib needs a specialist standing frame - help us make it happen

Rakib needs a specialist standing frame that the health system won't fund; the cost is $100.

Rakib lives with a rare neuromuscular condition. The occupational therapist at the Kolkata Mobility Clinic has assessed him and recommended a specialist standing frame. The public scheme doesn't cover it, and the quote from the supplier is $100. His current equipment is 12 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined him to home for 8 weeks. With the right equipment Rakib could join the school sports day. 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 $100 goes: • First-year servicing plan: $45 • Delivery and set-up: $10 • Fitting and training sessions: $45 Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.
