Vivaan needs a specialist standing frame - help us make it happen
A specialist standing frame would give Vivaan independence - we're $700 away.

I live with a rare neuromuscular condition. My occupational therapist at Mumbai General Hospital has assessed me and recommended a specialist standing frame. The public scheme doesn't cover it, and the quote from the supplier is $700.
My current equipment is 11 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined me to home for 6 weeks.
With the right equipment I could get to the shops and visit friends. 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.
Funds go toward the equipment, delivery, fitting and a year of servicing.
Where the $700 goes:
• First-year servicing plan: $40
• specialist standing frame: $650
• Delivery and set-up: $10
Thank you for reading my story.
