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
