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

I live with an amputation below the knee. My occupational therapist at the Gaya Rehabilitation Centre has assessed me and recommended a specialist standing frame. The public scheme doesn't cover it, and the quote from the supplier is $1,050.
My current equipment is 15 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined me to home for 12 weeks.
With the right equipment I could get to the shops and visit friends. It would change my everyday life and my ability to work from home.
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 $1,050 goes:
• Delivery and set-up: $20
• specialist standing frame: $1,000
• Fitting and training sessions: $30
Glad we found this place.
