Kyung-mi needs a specialist standing frame - help us make it happen

Help Kyung-mi get a specialist standing frame so She can go outside without waiting for someone to push.

Kyung-mi lives with profound hearing loss. The occupational therapist at Seoul General Hospital has assessed her and recommended a specialist standing frame. The public scheme doesn't cover it, and the quote from the supplier is $3,650. Her current equipment is 14 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined her to home for 4 weeks. With the right equipment Kyung-mi could go outside without waiting for someone to push. 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 $3,650 goes: • specialist standing frame: $3,250 • Fitting and training sessions: $210 • Delivery and set-up: $55 • First-year servicing plan: $135 Glad we found this place. - Jun-seo
