Independence for Dennis: specialist standing frame
Dennis needs a specialist standing frame that the health system won't fund; the cost is $1,400.

Dennis lives with profound hearing loss. The occupational therapist at the Makati Mobility Clinic has assessed him and recommended a specialist standing frame. The public scheme doesn't cover it, and the quote from the supplier is $1,400.
His current equipment is 9 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined him to home for 5 weeks.
With the right equipment Dennis could get to the shops and visit friends. 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 $1,400 goes:
• specialist standing frame: $1,250
• Fitting and training sessions: $75
• Delivery and set-up: $15
• First-year servicing plan: $60
Thanks for reading all this.
