Leo lives with cerebral palsy. The occupational therapist at the Taguig Rehabilitation Centre has assessed him and recommended a specialist standing frame. The public scheme doesn't cover it, and the quote from the supplier is $1,550. His current equipment is 9 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined him to home for 12 weeks. With the right equipment Leo 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 $1,550 goes: • Delivery and set-up: $15 • specialist standing frame: $1,450 • Fitting and training sessions: $85 Thanks for being kind about this. - Herman

Updates from Herman

Thank you all. We're at 9% now ($144). I'm honestly stunned. I made the first payment toward delivery and set-up.
Wanted to say thank you properly. 7% funded and I met with the supplier and confirmed the amounts.
