David lives with a spinal cord injury. The occupational therapist at the Karlsruhe Mobility Clinic has assessed him and recommended a specialist standing frame. The public scheme doesn't cover it, and the quote from the supplier is $2,550. His current equipment is 9 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined him to home for 12 weeks. With the right equipment David could go to school independently. 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 $2,550 goes: • specialist standing frame: $1,950 • Fitting and training sessions: $270 • Delivery and set-up: $150 • First-year servicing plan: $180 Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly. - Johanna
