Mobility fund: specialist standing frame for Terry in Birmingham
A specialist standing frame would give Terry independence - we're $8,150 away.
🇬🇧 United Kingdom9,076 views
I live with an amputation below the knee. My occupational therapist at Birmingham General Hospital has assessed me and recommended a specialist standing frame. The public scheme doesn't cover it, and the quote from the supplier is $8,150.
My current equipment is 9 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined me to home for 12 weeks.
With the right equipment I could attend work interviews. 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 $8,150 goes:
• specialist standing frame: $7,750
• Fitting and training sessions: $170
• Delivery and set-up: $75
• First-year servicing plan: $155
If you're reading this, thank you.
