A specialist standing frame for Deborah: help me move freely
Help Deborah get a specialist standing frame so She can join the school sports day.
🇺🇸 Texas, United States899 views
I live with a rare neuromuscular condition. My occupational therapist at the San Antonio Mobility Clinic has assessed me and recommended a specialist standing frame. The public scheme doesn't cover it, and the quote from the supplier is $5,950.
My current equipment is 14 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined me to home for 7 weeks.
With the right equipment I could join the school sports day. 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 $5,950 goes:
• specialist standing frame: $5,250
• Fitting and training sessions: $240
• Delivery and set-up: $70
• First-year servicing plan: $390
Thanks for being kind about this.
