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.
🇮🇳 West Bengal, India958 views
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.
