Tuhin needs a specialist standing frame - help us make it happen
Help Tuhin get a specialist standing frame so He can get to the shops and visit friends.
🇮🇳 Mumbai, Maharashtra, India670 views
Tuhin lives with multiple sclerosis. The occupational therapist at Mumbai General Hospital has assessed him and recommended a specialist standing frame. The public scheme doesn't cover it, and the quote from the supplier is $1,050.
His current equipment is 15 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined him to home for 7 weeks.
With the right equipment Tuhin could get to the shops and visit friends. 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 $1,050 goes:
• specialist standing frame: $920
• Fitting and training sessions: $65
• Delivery and set-up: $25
• First-year servicing plan: $40
If you're reading this, thank you.
