Yolanda needs a specialist standing frame - help us make it happen
Help Yolanda get a specialist standing frame so She can attend work interviews.
🇨🇴 Antioquia, Colombia745 views
I live with an amputation below the knee. My occupational therapist at Medellín 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 $150.
My current equipment is 9 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined me to home for 10 weeks.
With the right equipment I could attend work interviews. 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 $150 goes:
• First-year servicing plan: $80
• Delivery and set-up: $20
• Fitting and training sessions: $50
Thanks for reading all this.

look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. I'm in public service myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you. Thinking of Medellín
sending good thoughts. I hope things turn around soon. Don't be hard on yourself for asking
Hang in there, Yolanda. Get well soon. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like.
