Harper lives with a spinal cord injury. The occupational therapist at the London 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 $4,300. Her current equipment is 15 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined her to home for 4 weeks. With the right equipment Harper 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 $4,300 goes: • specialist standing frame: $3,650 • Fitting and training sessions: $160 • Delivery and set-up: $170 • First-year servicing plan: $320 I hope life is good to you.
