I live with low vision from retinitis pigmentosa. My occupational therapist at Madrid General Hospital has assessed me and recommended a specialist standing frame. The public scheme doesn't cover it, and the quote from the supplier is $2,800. My current equipment is 14 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined me to home for 4 weeks. With the right equipment I could go outside without waiting for someone to push. It would change my everyday life and my ability to work from home. 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 $2,800 goes: • specialist standing frame: $2,300 • Fitting and training sessions: $220 • Delivery and set-up: $120 • First-year servicing plan: $160 You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it. - Bruno

  • Hang in there. Hope you get there. I have a 15 year old who wants to send good wishes too.

    • Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. Sent it to 8 people at work. God bless.

      • Sending strength. Hope you get there. Greetings from San Fernando.

        • Take care, Bruno. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Take care.

          • Wishing you the best, Bruno. Hope you get there. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double.
