Ariana needs a specialist standing frame - help us make it happen
Help Ariana get a specialist standing frame so She can join the school sports day.
🇺🇸 Atlanta, Georgia, United States5,299 views
Ariana lives with low vision from retinitis pigmentosa. The occupational therapist at Atlanta General Hospital has assessed her and recommended a specialist standing frame. The public scheme doesn't cover it, and the quote from the supplier is $8,550.
Her current equipment is 14 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined her to home for 4 weeks.
With the right equipment Ariana could join the school sports day. 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 $8,550 goes:
• First-year servicing plan: $175
• specialist standing frame: $8,000
• Fitting and training sessions: $375
Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot.

it takes guts to ask. Well done. Thinking of Atlanta.
Wishing you the best, John. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. It's not much but it's yours. God bless.
Sending love. Hope the doctors have good news. Sent it to 5 people at work.
I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. Love from Rome
hope it all works out. Hope you get there. I'm in retail myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you. God bless!
