Electric auto-standing wheelchair

Donation protected
I'm raising money for one of my coworkers. She was born with cerebral palsy and has to get around with a wheelchair. She has a regular wheelchair, but she cannot use it here at work when she is cashiering, as the chair doesn't lift at all and won't go to the proper height of the checkout counter. Instead, she uses an adjustable chair that's usually used for haircutting or at bars. It works, but she cannot strap in and sometimes the positioning of her legs makes them fall asleep.

She has lamented before about wanting one of the electric wheelchairs that can stand its user up, but they can be quite expensive and are at the moment out of her means and price-range. I thought about trying to help her achieve one of her dreams. 

She is the sweetest girl I have ever met, and I'd love to be able to present her with either the funds to purchase said chair, or present her with the chair one day at work as a surprise. I have her permission to use her photo(s) as well as some personal info in setting up the gofundme, so she isn't unaware of my efforts.

I've looked up several different standing wheelchairs, and the one that seems as if it will work best is the Karman brand XO-202 (https://www.karmanhealthcare.com/product/xo-202/). The total for the basic chair plus a non-slip foot pad and a tie-down kit for he knees and legs while standing comes to $9,220. I'm asking for $10,000 so that we may customize the color eventually as well as possibly getting an extended warranty for any maintenance it may need.

Thank you to all who read and thank you to those who donate! Have a great day!
