Adeline lives with a rare neuromuscular condition. The occupational therapist at the San Diego Mobility Clinic has assessed her and recommended a specialist standing frame. The public scheme doesn't cover it, and the quote from the supplier is $7,700. Her current equipment is 13 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined her to home for 8 weeks. With the right equipment Adeline could go outside without waiting for someone to push. 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 $7,700 goes: • specialist standing frame: $7,000 • Fitting and training sessions: $280 • Delivery and set-up: $105 • First-year servicing plan: $315 If you can't give, please share this page. It does reach people.

      • wishing you peace. It takes guts to ask. Well done. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. Love from Heliopolis!
