Elisa lives with a spinal cord injury. The occupational therapist at the Salerno 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 $3,200. Her current equipment is 13 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined her to home for 12 weeks. With the right equipment Elisa could go outside without waiting for someone to push. 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. I'll pay the supplier directly from the funds, and I'll post a photo once the equipment is delivered. Where the $3,200 goes: • specialist standing frame: $2,900 • Fitting and training sessions: $125 • Delivery and set-up: $45 • First-year servicing plan: $130 Glad we found this place.
