San Jose

Chen lives with low vision from retinitis pigmentosa. 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 $2,900. Her current equipment is 10 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined her to home for 3 weeks. With the right equipment Chen could get to the shops and visit friends. 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 $2,900 goes: • specialist standing frame: $2,050 • Fitting and training sessions: $320 • Delivery and set-up: $155 • First-year servicing plan: $375 With deep gratitude, Ping
