A specialist standing frame for Long: help Long move freely
A specialist standing frame would give Long independence - we're $600 away.

Long lives with a spinal cord injury. The occupational therapist at the Winston-Salem Mobility Clinic has assessed him and recommended a specialist standing frame. The public scheme doesn't cover it, and the quote from the supplier is $600.
His current equipment is 13 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined him to home for 5 weeks.
With the right equipment Long 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 $600 goes:
• First-year servicing plan: $280
• Fitting and training sessions: $115
• Delivery and set-up: $205
Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot.

I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Thinking of Winston-Salem
Stay strong, Thủy. Hope you get there. God bless.
