Aurora
Robert lives with multiple sclerosis. The occupational therapist at Aurora General Hospital has assessed him and recommended a specialist standing frame. The public scheme doesn't cover it, and the quote from the supplier is $650. His current equipment is 10 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined him to home for 6 weeks. With the right equipment Robert 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 $650 goes: • Fitting and training sessions: $400 • Delivery and set-up: $75 • First-year servicing plan: $175 Ask me anything below before you decide. I'd rather you were sure. - Kai

        thinking of you and your family, Kai. Hope you get there. After 24 years in engineering I know how hard it's to ask for anything.
