Independence for Angel: specialist standing frame
Help Angel get a specialist standing frame so She can speak with the people around her.
🇵🇭 Philippines1,630 views
I live with an amputation below the knee. My occupational therapist at the Pasig 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 $1,200.
My current equipment is 11 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined me to home for 6 weeks.
With the right equipment I could speak with the people around her. 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 $1,200 goes:
• specialist standing frame: $1,100
• Fitting and training sessions: $20
• Delivery and set-up: $25
• First-year servicing plan: $55
Thank you so much.
Updates from Angel
Good news. Because of your gifts ($407 in total) I made the first payment toward specialist standing frame. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.
We're at 25% thanks to 10 of you. the first invoice got paid this week. More news soon.

Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick. Thinking of Pasig.
Hope it all works out, Angel. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest.
Take care. I hope things turn around soon. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. Thinking of Pasig.
