Luna lives with muscular dystrophy. The occupational therapist at the Austin 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 $4,600. Her current equipment is 8 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined her to home for 12 weeks. With the right equipment Luna 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 $4,600 goes: • specialist standing frame: $3,900 • Fitting and training sessions: $310 • Delivery and set-up: $60 • First-year servicing plan: $330 Glad we found this place. - Maverick
