Independence for Bích: specialist standing frame

A specialist standing frame would give Bích independence - we're $5,400 away.

Bích lives with a rare neuromuscular condition. The occupational therapist at Albany General Hospital has assessed her and recommended a specialist standing frame. The public scheme doesn't cover it, and the quote from the supplier is $5,400. Her current equipment is 12 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined her to home for 6 weeks. With the right equipment Bích could go to school independently. It would change everyday life for the whole family. 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 $5,400 goes: • specialist standing frame: $4,650 • Fitting and training sessions: $370 • Delivery and set-up: $165 • First-year servicing plan: $215 Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.
