I live with an amputation below the knee. My occupational therapist at the Orlando Rehabilitation Centre has assessed me and recommended a specialist standing frame. The public scheme doesn't cover it, and the quote from the supplier is $4,650. My current equipment is 10 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined me to home for 5 weeks. With the right equipment I could speak with the people around him. 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. I'll pay the supplier directly from the funds, and I'll post a photo once the equipment is delivered. Where the $4,650 goes: • specialist standing frame: $3,950 • Fitting and training sessions: $300 • Delivery and set-up: $55 • First-year servicing plan: $345 Every share and every dollar helps.
