A specialist standing frame for Carlo: help Carlo move freely
Carlo needs a specialist standing frame that the health system won't fund; the cost is $1,550.

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.
