Independence for Adrian: specialist standing frame

A specialist standing frame would give Adrian independence - we're $5,900 away.

Fresno
I live with cerebral palsy. My occupational therapist at Fresno General Hospital has assessed me and recommended a specialist standing frame. The public scheme doesn't cover it, and the quote from the supplier is $5,900. My current equipment is 14 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined me to home for 10 weeks. With the right equipment I could go outside without waiting for someone to push. 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 $5,900 goes: • specialist standing frame: $5,000 • Fitting and training sessions: $420 • Delivery and set-up: $200 • First-year servicing plan: $280 I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support. - Adrian

    Take care, Adrian. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust. God bless.

    • Claire Warren

      Good luck, Adrian. I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. I'm in accounting myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you. God bless.
