Intensive Therapy Donations
Watch this space! New link and donation page coming son.
Jakob requires various types of therapy, including physiotherapy, occupational therapy and speech therapy. He needs to travel to Melbourne from his home in Gippsland for regular reviews with his different specialist teams at the Royal Children's Hospital. Jakob has needed specialised equipment to support him in accessing the community and to assist with his development. He will continue to need different equipment in the future. He has numerous medications and medical equipment/supplies that are used on a daily basis.
All of these items cost money, the bills add up over time. Some items and therapy are currently covered by different funding options, which is fantastic, others are not. Unfortunately most equipment and therapy is very expensive.
As Jakob has become more medically stable we have been able to explore different therapy options to assist with his development. In October 2014 we made our first trip to the U.S.A to attend an intensive therapy program at the NAPA Centre in Los Angeles. The therapy focused predominantly on his physical development. This type of therapy is not currently offered in Australia and is not covered by any current funding options.
Our priority is to have Jakob continue to attend the NAPA Center in the U.S.A for the intensive therapy program. Your donation will help us to achieve this goal. Any additional funds that are raised will be put towards future equipment purchases and therapy sessions.
Thank you for your support! We really appreciate it, more than words can express.
