Brielle needs a specialist standing frame - help us make it happen
Help Brielle get a specialist standing frame so She can join the school sports day.
🇺🇸 Oregon, United States2,058 views
I live with a spinal cord injury. My occupational therapist at Portland General Hospital has assessed me and recommended a specialist standing frame. The public scheme doesn't cover it, and the quote from the supplier is $6,200.
My current equipment is 15 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined me to home for 10 weeks.
With the right equipment I could join the school sports day. 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.
I'll pay the supplier directly from the funds, and I'll post a photo once the equipment is delivered.
Where the $6,200 goes:
• specialist standing frame: $5,500
• Fitting and training sessions: $360
• First-year servicing plan: $340
Glad we found this place.

can I help in a way that isn't money? I'm near Portland!
Thank you. If you're in Portland I'll say if something practical comes up. For now sharing this is great. Thanks for looking so closely.
So sorry you're going through this, Brielle. Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick. Take care
I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. I hope December is when things finally get easier. All the best.
Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. Love from Kikuyu.
You're not alone, Brielle. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. My cousin had a similar thing happen so this one hit home.
Wishing you peace, Brielle. Gave what I could, wish it was more. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money.
Keep going, Brielle. I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Greetings from Auckland

Hope it all works out. Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick. Put this on a community board in Wudil this morning.
Hope things get better soon. Shared this with my family. Wish I lived closer to Puebla so I could bring a meal. All the best
