Mobility fund: specialist standing frame for Maya in Lowell
A specialist standing frame would give Maya independence - we're $8,100 away.
🇺🇸 United States4,364 views
I live with cerebral palsy. My occupational therapist at the Lowell Mobility Clinic has assessed me and recommended a specialist standing frame. The public scheme doesn't cover it, and the quote from the supplier is $8,100.
My current equipment is 14 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined me to home for 12 weeks.
With the right equipment I could join the school sports day. 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.
Funds go toward the equipment, delivery, fitting and a year of servicing.
Where the $8,100 goes:
• specialist standing frame: $7,500
• Fitting and training sessions: $310
• Delivery and set-up: $55
• First-year servicing plan: $235

You're not alone, Maya. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Thinking of Lowell.
thinking of you. This could happen to any of us. It's not much but it's yours. Take care.
Good luck, Maya. This could happen to any of us. Don't give up.
praying for you, Maya. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Blessings
Sending love, Maya. Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Love from Biratnagar.
