A specialist standing frame for David: help David move freely
David needs a specialist standing frame that the health system won't fund; the cost is $7,600.

David lives with a spinal cord injury. The occupational therapist at the Sacramento Mobility Clinic has assessed him and recommended a specialist standing frame. The public scheme doesn't cover it, and the quote from the supplier is $7,600.
His current equipment is 11 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined him to home for 12 weeks.
With the right equipment David could join the school sports day. 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 $7,600 goes:
• Delivery and set-up: $195
• specialist standing frame: $7,250
• First-year servicing plan: $155
Ask me anything below before you decide. I'd rather you were sure.

Is there anything that isn't money that would help David?
Thank you. If you're in Sacramento I'll say if something practical comes up. For now sharing this is great. Let me know if you want more detail.
take care. Your post was clear and honest. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. Greetings from New Delhi.
Thinking of you. Wishing David a smooth procedure and a full recovery. Blessings
