A specialist standing frame for Maria: help Maria move freely
A specialist standing frame would give Maria independence - we are $7,200 away.
🇺🇸 United States1,669 views
Maria lives with an amputation below the knee. The occupational therapist at the Denver 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 $7,200.
Her current equipment is 15 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined her to home for 12 weeks.
With the right equipment Maria 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.
Funds go toward the equipment, delivery, fitting and a year of servicing.
Where the $7,200 goes:
• specialist standing frame: $6,500
• Fitting and training sessions: $240
• Delivery and set-up: $230
• First-year servicing plan: $230
Thanks for being kind about this.

Hang in there, Harold. Shared this with my family. My neighbor had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. God bless.
Thinking of you, Harold. Shared it with a few friends. God bless
