Los Angeles
I live with a spinal cord injury. My occupational therapist at the Los Angeles Mobility Clinic has assessed me and recommended a specialist standing frame. The public scheme doesn't cover it, and the quote from the supplier is $6,950. My current equipment is 14 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined me to home for 12 weeks. With the right equipment I could get to the shops and visit friends. 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 $6,950 goes: • specialist standing frame: $6,250 • Fitting and training sessions: $230 • Delivery and set-up: $145 • First-year servicing plan: $325 With deep gratitude, Rashmi

    Wishing you peace. Looking forward to the next update. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money.

      I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. Love from New Delhi.

        rooting for you, Rashmi. Hope the doctors have good news. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. All the best

          Hope things get better soon, Rashmi. I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. I went through something like this 11 years ago and strangers helped me out.

            Thinking of you. Get well soon. Wish I lived closer to Bordeaux so I could bring a meal.
