A specialist standing frame for Melanie: help Melanie move freely

Melanie lives with cerebral palsy. The occupational therapist at London 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 $5,700. Her current equipment is 15 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined her to home for 7 weeks. With the right equipment Melanie could get to the shops and visit friends. 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 $5,700 goes: • specialist standing frame: $5,000 • Fitting and training sessions: $280 • Delivery and set-up: $135 • First-year servicing plan: $285 Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.
