Assisting walking

Edi is 10-year-old boy who is not ADL (day-to-day living) independent and has limited walking ability as a result of cerebral palsy.

Edi was introduced to the foundation by our mediator Kadek Wira. Originally, Kadek had provided him with a wheelchair from the foundation, but further investigation showed that Edi might be able to walk independently with the right assistance and training. Marieke de Wit was prepared to treat Edi free of charge. Twice a week, Edi and his mother are collected and taken back home in transport paid by High 5 Rehab. The idea is that Edi first learns to walk with a walking frame; APA Foundation Edi has now supplied a child's walking frame to replace the wheelchair. According to Marieke de Wit, Edi is making good progress.

Edi is able to cycle! But his bike was much too small, had no pedals and the saddle was completely worn out. APA Foundation has supplied him with a new bicycle
