Mobility fund: specialist standing frame for Joshua in Nottingham
Joshua needs a specialist standing frame that the health system won't fund; the cost is $6,450.

Joshua lives with a spinal cord injury. The occupational therapist at the Nottingham Rehabilitation Centre has assessed him and recommended a specialist standing frame. The public scheme doesn't cover it, and the quote from the supplier is $6,450.
His current equipment is 8 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined him to home for 8 weeks.
With the right equipment Joshua could join the school sports day. 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 $6,450 goes:
• specialist standing frame: $6,000
• Fitting and training sessions: $105
• Delivery and set-up: $185
• First-year servicing plan: $160
Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.

Best of luck. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. Thinking of Nottingham.
