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

Quezon City
Divina lives with multiple sclerosis. The occupational therapist at the Quezon City Rehabilitation Centre has assessed her and recommended a specialist standing frame. The public scheme doesn't cover it, and the quote from the supplier is $800. Her current equipment is 8 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined her to home for 3 weeks. With the right equipment Divina 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 $800 goes: • Delivery and set-up: $30 • Fitting and training sessions: $70 • specialist standing frame: $700 Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly. - Jose
