A specialist standing frame for Alberto: help Alberto move freely
Alberto needs a specialist standing frame that the health system won't fund; the cost is $1,000.

Alberto lives with profound hearing loss. The occupational therapist at Zapopan General Hospital has assessed him and recommended a specialist standing frame. The public scheme doesn't cover it, and the quote from the supplier is $1,000.
His current equipment is 15 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined him to home for 4 weeks.
With the right equipment Alberto could get to the shops and visit friends. It would change everyday life for the whole family.
We've applied to two charities already and received small contributions; this campaign covers the rest.
Funds go toward the equipment, delivery, fitting and a year of servicing.
Where the $1,000 goes:
• specialist standing frame: $770
• First-year servicing plan: $120
• Fitting and training sessions: $110
I'll pay this kindness forward the moment I'm able to.

Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Thinking of Zapopan.
Thinking of you and your family. Shared this with my family. Love from Nagoya.
