Mobility fund: specialist standing frame for Bella in San Jose
Bella needs a specialist standing frame that the health system won't fund; the cost is $8,900.

Bella lives with profound hearing loss. The occupational therapist at San Jose 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 $8,900.
Her current equipment is 9 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined her to home for 10 weeks.
With the right equipment Bella 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 $8,900 goes:
• specialist standing frame: $8,500
• First-year servicing plan: $185
• Delivery and set-up: $215
Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.

Thinking of you and your family, Jonathan. Shared this with my family. Blessings.
Hope things get better soon, Jonathan. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. I have a 15 year old who wants to send good wishes too
Get well soon. I'm in teaching myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you. All the best.

Hang in there. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money
