Mobility fund: specialist standing frame for Luca in Leeds

Luca needs a specialist standing frame that the health system won't fund; the cost is $7,700.

Luca lives with multiple sclerosis. The occupational therapist at the Leeds 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 $7,700. His current equipment is 10 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined him to home for 10 weeks. With the right equipment Luca could attend work interviews. 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 $7,700 goes: • specialist standing frame: $7,000 • Fitting and training sessions: $250 • Delivery and set-up: $125 • First-year servicing plan: $325 With deep gratitude, Kinsley
