Let's get Linda upright again!

Clive from Mairangi Bay

Linda is profoundly disabled and unable to talk and has been since birth. She is now in her mid-40's and last year suffered the loss of her much-needed Standing Frame when it was wrecked in the Cyclone Gabrielle Floods. This has had a serious effect on her physical health and mental state and reports from her physiotherapist state that this will decline further if she does not get upright soon.

Linda lives in a home in Ramsgate Terrace in Mairangi Bay with 24-hour caregivers funded by MSD, but the state will not fund a replacement frame. The frame required is a Jenx Supine Stander - and costs in the region of $16,000 so we have decided to fundraise to get Linda back Upright! We are working together with Rotary and the North Shore Housing Trust but need some additional assistance from the wonderful people of New Zealand.

If you wish to help Linda please connect to her Give-a-Little page:

or just share this post as much as possible as this would also be a great help.
