I live with profound hearing loss. My occupational therapist at Nakuru General Hospital has assessed me and recommended a specialist standing frame. The public scheme doesn't cover it, and the quote from the supplier is $1,300. My current equipment is 15 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined me to home for 6 weeks. With the right equipment I could go outside without waiting for someone to push. 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. Funds go toward the equipment, delivery, fitting and a year of servicing. Where the $1,300 goes: • specialist standing frame: $1,200 • Fitting and training sessions: $55 • First-year servicing plan: $45 Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly. - Waweru
