A specialist standing frame for Antonio: help Antonio move freely
Help Antonio get a specialist standing frame so He can go outside without waiting for someone to push.
🇮🇹 Latina, Lazio, Italy3,375 views
Antonio lives with an amputation below the knee. The occupational therapist at Latina 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 $5,300.
His current equipment is 13 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined him to home for 7 weeks.
With the right equipment Antonio could go outside without waiting for someone to push. 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.
I'll pay the supplier directly from the funds, and I'll post a photo once the equipment is delivered.
Where the $5,300 goes:
• Delivery and set-up: $135
• specialist standing frame: $5,000
• Fitting and training sessions: $165
I hope life is good to you.
