A specialist standing frame for Oliver: help Oliver move freely
A specialist standing frame would give Oliver independence - we're $900 away.
🇺🇸 United States1,965 views
Oliver lives with a rare neuromuscular condition. The occupational therapist at the San Diego 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 $900.
His current equipment is 9 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined him to home for 8 weeks.
With the right equipment Oliver 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.
I'll pay the supplier directly from the funds, and I'll post a photo once the equipment is delivered.
Where the $900 goes:
• Fitting and training sessions: $330
• Delivery and set-up: $180
• First-year servicing plan: $390
Thanks for being kind about this.

is there anything that isn't money that would help Oliver?
Sharing the link is the biggest thing. And if you know anything about fitting and training sessions, advice is welcome too. It helps to be asked.
You're not alone. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. Blessings.
Hope it all works out, Howard. Shared it with a few friends. Don't give up. Blessings.
Hope things get better soon, Howard. Shared this with my family. I went through something like this 2 years ago and strangers helped me out. Greetings from Nakuru
Hang in there, Howard. This could happen to any of us. Blessings.
Praying for you, Howard. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Take care.
