A specialist standing frame for Lincoln: help Lincoln move freely
A specialist standing frame would give Lincoln independence - we are $5,800 away.

Lincoln lives with a spinal cord injury. The occupational therapist at the London 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 $5,800.
His current equipment is 11 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined him to home for 10 weeks.
With the right equipment Lincoln 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.
I'll pay the supplier directly from the funds, and I'll post a photo once the equipment is delivered.
Where the $5,800 goes:
• specialist standing frame: $5,250
• Fitting and training sessions: $230
• Delivery and set-up: $120
• First-year servicing plan: $200
You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.
Updates from Andrew
Good news. Because of your gifts ($5,328 in total) I made the first payment toward specialist standing frame. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.
28% there. the plan for fitting and training sessions is now scheduled. Thank you.
