Kelvin lives with profound hearing loss. The occupational therapist at the Tema 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 $1,250. His current equipment is 8 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined him to home for 7 weeks. With the right equipment Kelvin could attend work interviews. 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 $1,250 goes: • Delivery and set-up: $30 • First-year servicing plan: $35 • specialist standing frame: $1,185 With deep gratitude, Gloria

    The support I received was beyond what I expected. Not only did they help with the immediate need, but they also provided guidance for long-term solutions. I'm forever grateful.

    I can't speak highly enough about this helper. They were available when I needed them, supportive when I felt lost, and practical in their solutions.

    Professional and kind

    I was going through a tough time and this person's support was invaluable. They didn't judge, just helped. That kind of genuine compassion is rare these days.
