Fabiana needs a specialist standing frame that the health system won't fund; the cost is $2,350.

Campinas
Fabiana lives with muscular dystrophy. The occupational therapist at the Campinas Mobility Clinic has assessed her and recommended a specialist standing frame. The public scheme doesn't cover it, and the quote from the supplier is $2,350. Her current equipment is 12 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined her to home for 8 weeks. With the right equipment Fabiana could speak with the people around her. 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 $2,350 goes: • specialist standing frame: $2,100 • Fitting and training sessions: $80 • Delivery and set-up: $75 • First-year servicing plan: $95 Thanks for reading all this.

    Really cared about my situation

    I was going through a tough time and this person's support was invaluable. They didn't judge, just helped. That kind of genuine compassion is rare these days.

    Quick response, great follow-up

    I can't speak highly enough about this helper. They were available when I needed them, supportive when I felt lost, and practical in their solutions.
