Mobility fund: specialist standing frame for Siobhan in Dublin
Siobhan needs a specialist standing frame that the health system won't fund; the cost is $2,800.

Siobhan lives with low vision from retinitis pigmentosa. The occupational therapist at Dublin 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 $2,800.
Her current equipment is 14 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined her to home for 4 weeks.
With the right equipment Siobhan 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.
I'll pay the supplier directly from the funds, and I'll post a photo once the equipment is delivered.
Where the $2,800 goes:
• specialist standing frame: $2,200
• Fitting and training sessions: $300
• Delivery and set-up: $95
• First-year servicing plan: $205
With deep gratitude,
Liam

Hope things get better soon, Liam. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Don't give up
Gave what I could, wish it was more. We're a small family in Jakarta but we're thinking of you. Blessings
