Jennifer needs a specialist standing frame - help us make it happen
Help Jennifer get a specialist standing frame so She can speak with the people around her.
🇬🇧 Wales, United Kingdom2,694 views
Jennifer lives with a rare neuromuscular condition. The occupational therapist at the Newport 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 $3,250.
Her current equipment is 14 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined her to home for 10 weeks.
With the right equipment Jennifer could speak with the people around her. 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 $3,250 goes:
• specialist standing frame: $2,600
• Fitting and training sessions: $220
• Delivery and set-up: $115
• First-year servicing plan: $315
Ask me anything below before you decide. I'd rather you were sure.

Can I help in a way that isn't money? I'm near Newport.
Sharing the link is the biggest thing. And if you know anything about specialist standing frame, advice is welcome too.
so sorry you're going through this, Skylar. Gave what I could, wish it was more. God bless.
take care. Looking forward to the next update. All the best.
Any update on how things are going in Newport?
hope the doctors have good news. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry.
take care, Skylar. It takes guts to ask. Well done. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry
Is specialist standing frame the biggest cost or is there more coming?
hope things get better soon. Hope this works out for you. We're a small family in El Paso but we're thinking of you.
Take care, Skylar. Shared this with my family
Gave what I could, wish it was more. Wish I lived closer to Cần Thơ so I could bring a meal
hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick. I went through something like this 5 years ago and strangers helped me out. Thinking of Newport.
Stay strong, Skylar. It takes guts to ask. Well done
look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. All the best
you're not alone, Skylar. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. All the best.
Stay strong, Skylar. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. Greetings from Spokane.
