A specialist standing frame for Courtney: help Courtney move freely
Courtney needs a specialist standing frame that the health system won't fund; the cost is $8,200.

Courtney lives with a spinal cord injury. The occupational therapist at the San Diego Mobility Clinic has assessed her and recommended a specialist standing frame. The public scheme doesn't cover it, and the quote from the supplier is $8,200.
Her current equipment is 14 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined her to home for 5 weeks.
With the right equipment Courtney could go to school independently. 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 $8,200 goes:
• specialist standing frame: $7,500
• Fitting and training sessions: $290
• Delivery and set-up: $175
• First-year servicing plan: $235
You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.
