I live with multiple sclerosis. My occupational therapist at Cairns 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 $7,900. My current equipment is 8 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined me to home for 5 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. I'll pay the supplier directly from the funds, and I'll post a photo once the equipment is delivered. Where the $7,900 goes: • specialist standing frame: $7,000 • Fitting and training sessions: $410 • Delivery and set-up: $85 • First-year servicing plan: $405 Thank you for reading my story. - Avery

    Praying for you, Avery. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Sent it to 39 people at work.

      You're not alone, Avery. This could happen to any of us. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. Greetings from Nsukka.
