Cecilia needs a specialist standing frame - help us make it happen

Help Cecilia get a specialist standing frame so She can get to the shops and visit friends.

Cecilia lives with muscular dystrophy. The occupational therapist at the Manila 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 $750. Her current equipment is 9 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined her to home for 5 weeks. With the right equipment Cecilia could get to the shops and visit friends. 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 $750 goes: • specialist standing frame: $630 • Fitting and training sessions: $55 • Delivery and set-up: $30 • First-year servicing plan: $35 If you're reading this, thank you.

    Very responsive and caring

    I was going through a tough time and this person's support was invaluable. They didn't judge, just helped. That kind of genuine compassion is rare these days.
