Shweta needs a specialist standing frame - help us make it happen
Help Shweta get a specialist standing frame so She can go to school independently.
Anywhere in the world2,517 views
Shweta lives with a rare neuromuscular condition. The occupational therapist at the Nagpur Rehabilitation Centre has assessed her and recommended a specialist standing frame. The public scheme doesn't cover it, and the quote from the supplier is $850.
Her current equipment is 8 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined her to home for 8 weeks.
With the right equipment Shweta could go to school independently. 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.
Funds go toward the equipment, delivery, fitting and a year of servicing.
Where the $850 goes:
• specialist standing frame: $800
• Delivery and set-up: $20
• First-year servicing plan: $30
Thank you for reading my story.
