Independence for Jericho: specialist standing frame
Jericho needs a specialist standing frame that the health system will not fund; the cost is $1,350.
🇵🇭 Metro Manila, Philippines163 views
I live with profound hearing loss. My occupational therapist at the Manila Mobility Clinic has assessed me and recommended a specialist standing frame. The public scheme doesn't cover it, and the quote from the supplier is $1,350.
My current equipment is 10 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined me to home for 12 weeks.
With the right equipment I could attend work interviews. It would change my everyday life and my ability to work from home.
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 $1,350 goes:
• specialist standing frame: $1,250
• Fitting and training sessions: $50
• Delivery and set-up: $10
• First-year servicing plan: $40
I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen.

Is there anything that isn't money that would help Jericho?
Sharing the link is the biggest thing. And if you know anything about specialist standing frame, advice is welcome too. Fair thing to want to know.
Best of luck. Shared it with a few friends. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend. Love from Buenos Aires.
is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Jericho.
It's all in the list in the story. specialist standing frame is the big one at $1,250, I'll post a receipt when it's paid. I'll keep the page updated.
You're not alone, Jericho. Shared this with my family
Praying for you. Gave what I could, wish it was more. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. God bless.
Thinking of you, Jericho. Hope the doctors have good news. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double.
