Pasig
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.

        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.
