Emery needs a specialist standing frame - help us make it happen
Help Emery get a specialist standing frame so She can get to the shops and visit friends.

Emery lives with an amputation below the knee. The occupational therapist at Auckland General Hospital has assessed her and recommended a specialist standing frame. The public scheme doesn't cover it, and the quote from the supplier is $6,300.
Her current equipment is 13 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined her to home for 10 weeks.
With the right equipment Emery 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 $6,300 goes:
• specialist standing frame: $6,000
• First-year servicing plan: $145
• Delivery and set-up: $155
Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.

You're not alone. Hope the doctors have good news. Greetings from Riverside.
Thinking of you, Scarlett. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected
Take care, Scarlett. Hope this works out for you. My neighbor had a similar thing happen so this one hit home
thinking of you and your family, Scarlett. Shared it with a few friends. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend
good luck, Scarlett. Wishing Emery a smooth procedure and a full recovery. It's not much but it's yours
Keep going. Shared this with my family. I'll check back for the next update. Take care.
