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.

Wishing Joshua a smooth procedure and a full recovery. It's not much but it's yours.
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.
