Marites needs a specialist standing frame - help us make it happen
Help Marites get a specialist standing frame so She can attend work interviews.

I live with a spinal cord injury. My occupational therapist at the Santa Rosa Rehabilitation Centre has assessed me and recommended a specialist standing frame. The public scheme doesn't cover it, and the quote from the supplier is $500.
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.
Funds go toward the equipment, delivery, fitting and a year of servicing.
Where the $500 goes:
β’ specialist standing frame: $400
β’ Fitting and training sessions: $50
β’ Delivery and set-up: $10
β’ First-year servicing plan: $40
You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.
