Dumisani needs a specialist standing frame - help us make it happen
A specialist standing frame would give Dumisani independence - we're $2,050 away.

Dumisani lives with a spinal cord injury. The occupational therapist at the George Rehabilitation Centre has assessed him and recommended a specialist standing frame. The public scheme doesn't cover it, and the quote from the supplier is $2,050.
His current equipment is 12 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined him to home for 3 weeks.
With the right equipment Dumisani 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.
Funds go toward the equipment, delivery, fitting and a year of servicing.
Where the $2,050 goes:
• Delivery and set-up: $15
• specialist standing frame: $1,950
• Fitting and training sessions: $85
Thanks for being kind about this.
