Independence for Vincent: specialist standing frame
A specialist standing frame would give Vincent independence - we're $7,400 away.
Anywhere in the world706 views
Vincent lives with multiple sclerosis. The occupational therapist at the Victoria 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 $7,400.
His current equipment is 8 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined him to home for 3 weeks.
With the right equipment Vincent could join the school sports day. 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: $300
• Delivery and set-up: $65
• First-year servicing plan: $285
With deep gratitude,
Zoé

Praying for you, Zoé. Shared this with my family. God bless
Sending love, Zoé. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double.
