Independence for Gerald: specialist standing frame

Help Gerald get a specialist standing frame so He can get to the shops and visit friends.

Gerald lives with a spinal cord injury. The occupational therapist at the Tucson Rehabilitation Centre has assessed him and recommended a specialist standing frame. The public scheme doesn't cover it, and the quote from the supplier is $8,450. His current equipment is 12 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined him to home for 6 weeks. With the right equipment Gerald 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. I'll pay the supplier directly from the funds, and I'll post a photo once the equipment is delivered. Where the $8,450 goes: • First-year servicing plan: $250 • Fitting and training sessions: $190 • specialist standing frame: $8,010 Thank you so much.
