A specialist standing frame for Rhea: help Rhea move freely
A specialist standing frame would give Rhea independence - we are $1,050 away.
🇵🇭 Quezon City, Metro Manila, Philippines792 views
Rhea lives with a spinal cord injury. The occupational therapist at Quezon City 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 10 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined her to home for 3 weeks.
With the right equipment Rhea 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 $1,050 goes:
• specialist standing frame: $910
• Fitting and training sessions: $60
• Delivery and set-up: $20
• First-year servicing plan: $60
Thanks for being kind about this.

Updates from Lovely
Good news. Because of your gifts ($211 in total) I met with the supplier and confirmed the amounts. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely. - Lovely
Quick update: $165 raised so far (16%). the plan for delivery and set-up is now scheduled. Receipts coming as soon as I have them.

Rooting for you, Lovely. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like.
