Buy an adjustable desk, throw out old one.

But to be serious, you can simply add something stable below. Bet something that holds each 2 legs on a side and is on a fixed at the back so it doesn't collapse.

As you probably want to be able to sit there again, maybe go for 1st advice..

Boxes. Amazon, paper, whatever. If you order something large from amazon you can use that box for quite some time.

You can get an electronic standing desk for $400...just get one

Buy a standing desk frame. Check this
