Elisabeth lives with muscular dystrophy. The occupational therapist at Munich 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 $7,950. Her current equipment is 14 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined her to home for 6 weeks. With the right equipment Elisabeth 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. Funds go toward the equipment, delivery, fitting and a year of servicing. Where the $7,950 goes: • specialist standing frame: $7,500 • Fitting and training sessions: $130 • Delivery and set-up: $155 • First-year servicing plan: $165 Thanks for being kind about this. - Jonas
