Carlo lives with multiple sclerosis. The occupational therapist at Lapu-Lapu 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 $1,550. His current equipment is 11 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined him to home for 3 weeks. With the right equipment Carlo could go to school independently. 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 $1,550 goes: • First-year servicing plan: $60 • specialist standing frame: $1,400 • Fitting and training sessions: $90 I hope life is good to you. - John Paul
