Phong lives with an amputation below the knee. The occupational therapist at the Hồ Chí Minh City Mobility Clinic has assessed him and recommended a specialist standing frame. The public scheme doesn't cover it, and the quote from the supplier is $500. His current equipment is 12 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined him to home for 7 weeks. With the right equipment Phong 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 $500 goes: • specialist standing frame: $370 • Fitting and training sessions: $50 • Delivery and set-up: $15 • First-year servicing plan: $65 Every share and every dollar helps.
