Independence for Karina: specialist standing frame
Karina needs a specialist standing frame that the health system won't fund; the cost is $2,350.

Karina lives with low vision from retinitis pigmentosa. The occupational therapist at the Mendoza Rehabilitation Centre has assessed her and recommended a specialist standing frame. The public scheme doesn't cover it, and the quote from the supplier is $2,350.
Her current equipment is 13 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined her to home for 7 weeks.
With the right equipment Karina 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 $2,350 goes:
• First-year servicing plan: $80
• Delivery and set-up: $60
• specialist standing frame: $2,210
Thank you so much.
