I live with profound hearing loss. My occupational therapist at the Pretoria Mobility Clinic has assessed me and recommended a specialist standing frame. The public scheme doesn't cover it, and the quote from the supplier is $1,050.
My current equipment is 15 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined me to home for 7 weeks.
With the right equipment I could attend work interviews. 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 $1,050 goes:
• Fitting and training sessions: $115
• specialist standing frame: $910
• Delivery and set-up: $25
Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot.

wishing you the best, Johan. This could happen to any of us. I went through something like this 7 years ago and strangers helped me out. Blessings.
Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Don't give up. Thinking of Pretoria.
Take care, Johan. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. I have a 6 year old who wants to send good wishes too. Take care
Wishing you peace, Johan. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Don't give up. Love from Ikeja.
