I live with profound hearing loss. My occupational therapist at Derry General Hospital has assessed me and recommended a specialist standing frame. The public scheme doesn't cover it, and the quote from the supplier is $3,050.
My current equipment is 9 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined me to home for 7 weeks.
With the right equipment I could go outside without waiting for someone to push. 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 $3,050 goes:
• specialist standing frame: $2,500
• Fitting and training sessions: $220
• Delivery and set-up: $155
• First-year servicing plan: $175
Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot.
