Peoria
Wayne lives with muscular dystrophy. The occupational therapist at the Peoria 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 $5,150. His current equipment is 14 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined him to home for 8 weeks. With the right equipment Wayne could speak with the people around him. 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 $5,150 goes: • specialist standing frame: $4,450 • Fitting and training sessions: $370 • Delivery and set-up: $85 • First-year servicing plan: $245 I hope life is good to you. - Liliana

  • Get well soon. After 16 years in construction I know how hard it is to ask for anything. Greetings from Brampton.

    • Hope it all works out, Liliana. I hope things turn around soon. I have a 6 year old who wants to send good wishes too. Blessings

      • Thinking of you and your family, Liliana. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. I have a 15 year old who wants to send good wishes too. Love from Katowice.

        • wishing you peace. It takes guts to ask. Well done. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like.

          • Wishing you the best, Liliana. Wishing Wayne a smooth procedure and a full recovery. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too
