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. - Brielle
