Mobility fund: specialist standing frame for Charmaine in Manila

A specialist standing frame would give Charmaine independence - we're $850 away.

Manila
I live with multiple sclerosis. My occupational therapist at the Manila 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 $850. My current equipment is 14 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined me to home for 3 weeks. With the right equipment I could get to the shops and visit friends. 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. I'll pay the supplier directly from the funds, and I'll post a photo once the equipment is delivered. Where the $850 goes: • specialist standing frame: $690 • Fitting and training sessions: $65 • Delivery and set-up: $20 • First-year servicing plan: $75 Thanks for reading all this. - Charmaine
