Clara lives with low vision from retinitis pigmentosa. The occupational therapist at Hamilton 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 $7,850.
Her current equipment is 10 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined her to home for 3 weeks.
With the right equipment Clara 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 $7,850 goes:
• specialist standing frame: $7,250
• Fitting and training sessions: $195
• Delivery and set-up: $90
• First-year servicing plan: $315
Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.

What exactly is the $7,850 for?
Specialist standing frame is $7,250 of it. Everything else is listed in the story and nothing outside that list comes out of this page. It helps to be asked.
Wishing Clara a smooth procedure and a full recovery. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day
Praying for you. Shared this with my family. It's not much but it's yours. Take care.
It takes guts to ask. Well done. After 6 years in social work I know how hard it's to ask for anything.
