Liza needs a specialist standing frame - help us make it happen
Liza needs a specialist standing frame that the health system won't fund; the cost is $1,800.
🇵🇭 Bacoor, Cavite, Philippines2,650 views
Liza lives with profound hearing loss. The occupational therapist at the Bacoor Mobility Clinic has assessed her and recommended a specialist standing frame. The public scheme doesn't cover it, and the quote from the supplier is $1,800.
Her current equipment is 10 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined her to home for 7 weeks.
With the right equipment Liza 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.
I'll pay the supplier directly from the funds, and I'll post a photo once the equipment is delivered.
Where the $1,800 goes:
• specialist standing frame: $1,700
• Fitting and training sessions: $35
• Delivery and set-up: $30
• First-year servicing plan: $35
Thanks for being kind about this.

Wishing you peace. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. Blessings
So sorry you're going through this, John Paul. Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money.
