A specialist standing frame for Stefania: help me move freely
Stefania needs a specialist standing frame that the health system won't fund; the cost is $5,000.

I live with an amputation below the knee. My occupational therapist at the Messina Mobility Clinic has assessed me and recommended a specialist standing frame. The public scheme doesn't cover it, and the quote from the supplier is $5,000.
My current equipment is 15 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined me to home for 8 weeks.
With the right equipment I could go outside without waiting for someone to push. It would change my everyday life and my ability to work from home.
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 $5,000 goes:
• Delivery and set-up: $140
• Fitting and training sessions: $195
• specialist standing frame: $4,665
With deep gratitude,
Stefania
