Independence for Isaiah: specialist standing frame
Isaiah needs a specialist standing frame that the health system won't fund; the cost is $7,400.

Isaiah lives with profound hearing loss. The occupational therapist at Newport General Hospital has assessed him and recommended a specialist standing frame. The public scheme doesn't cover it, and the quote from the supplier is $7,400.
His current equipment is 11 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined him to home for 12 weeks.
With the right equipment Isaiah 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 $7,400 goes:
• specialist standing frame: $6,750
• Fitting and training sessions: $195
• Delivery and set-up: $140
• First-year servicing plan: $315
