Dayton
I live with profound hearing loss. My occupational therapist at the Dayton 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 $9,600. My current equipment is 10 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined me to home for 6 weeks. With the right equipment I could speak with the people around him. 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 $9,600 goes: • specialist standing frame: $9,000 • Fitting and training sessions: $300 • Delivery and set-up: $95 • First-year servicing plan: $205 I hope life is good to you.
