Lesego lives with a spinal cord injury. The occupational therapist at Mthatha General Hospital has assessed her and recommended a specialist standing frame. The public scheme doesn't cover it, and the quote from the supplier is $1,050. Her current equipment is 14 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined her to home for 12 weeks. With the right equipment Lesego 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 $1,050 goes: โ€ข First-year servicing plan: $85 โ€ข specialist standing frame: $920 โ€ข Fitting and training sessions: $45 If you can't give, please share this page. It does reach people. - Kevin

  • Sending love. Hope this works out for you. Put this on a community board in Birmingham this morning. Thinking of Mthatha.

    • Thinking of you. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Love from Mississauga.

      • Sending love, Kevin. Wishing Lesego a smooth procedure and a full recovery.
