Salvador needs a specialist standing frame - help us make it happen

Salvador needs a specialist standing frame that the health system won't fund; the cost is $500.

Phoenix
Salvador lives with profound hearing loss. The occupational therapist at Phoenix 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 $500. His current equipment is 15 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined him to home for 3 weeks. With the right equipment Salvador 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. I'll pay the supplier directly from the funds, and I'll post a photo once the equipment is delivered. Where the $500 goes: โ€ข Fitting and training sessions: $210 โ€ข First-year servicing plan: $190 โ€ข Delivery and set-up: $100 If you can't give, please share this page. It does reach people. - Carmen

      I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. I hope March is when things finally get easier. Thinking of Phoenix.
