Kendall lives with an amputation below the knee. The occupational therapist at the Los Angeles Rehabilitation Centre has assessed her and recommended a specialist standing frame. The public scheme doesn't cover it, and the quote from the supplier is $2,450. Her current equipment is 14 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined her to home for 3 weeks. With the right equipment Kendall could speak with the people around her. 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 $2,450 goes: • specialist standing frame: $1,950 • Fitting and training sessions: $125 • Delivery and set-up: $75 • First-year servicing plan: $300 Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.
