Vijay needs a specialist standing frame - help us make it happen
A specialist standing frame would give Vijay independence - we're $950 away.
🇮🇳 Hubballi, Karnataka, India917 views
I live with multiple sclerosis. My occupational therapist at the Hubballi Rehabilitation Centre has assessed me and recommended a specialist standing frame. The public scheme doesn't cover it, and the quote from the supplier is $950.
My current equipment is 13 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined me to home for 5 weeks.
With the right equipment I could go outside without waiting for someone to push. It would change my everyday life and my ability to work from home.
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 $950 goes:
• specialist standing frame: $870
• Fitting and training sessions: $15
• Delivery and set-up: $30
• First-year servicing plan: $35
Glad we found this place.
Updates from Vijay
We're at 21% thanks to 9 of you. I made the first payment toward fitting and training sessions. More news soon.
Thank you all. We're at 18% now ($171). I'm honestly stunned. I met with the supplier and confirmed the amounts.
Update from Hubballi: we've booked the dates and paid the deposit. We're at 8% of the goal. Thank you for believing in us.
