Jack needs a specialist standing frame - help us make it happen
A specialist standing frame would give Jack independence - we're $6,100 away.
🇺🇸 United States6,835 views
I live with a spinal cord injury. My occupational therapist at the San Diego Rehabilitation Centre has assessed me and recommended a specialist standing frame. The public scheme doesn't cover it, and the quote from the supplier is $6,100.
My current equipment is 12 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined me to home for 5 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.
I'll pay the supplier directly from the funds, and I'll post a photo once the equipment is delivered.
Where the $6,100 goes:
• specialist standing frame: $5,750
• Delivery and set-up: $95
• First-year servicing plan: $255
Thank you so much.

Thinking of you and your family. Wishing Jack a smooth procedure and a full recovery. I went through something like this 7 years ago and strangers helped me out.
Rooting for you, Jack. Wishing Jack a smooth procedure and a full recovery. Don't be hard on yourself for asking. Take care
Hope things get better soon, Jack. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Love from Madrid.
