Greyson needs a specialist standing frame - help us make it happen
A specialist standing frame would give Greyson independence - we're $6,900 away.

I live with muscular dystrophy. My occupational therapist at the Vancouver Rehabilitation Centre has assessed me and recommended a specialist standing frame. The public scheme doesn't cover it, and the quote from the supplier is $6,900.
My current equipment is 14 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined me to home for 3 weeks.
With the right equipment I could get to the shops and visit friends. 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.
I'll pay the supplier directly from the funds, and I'll post a photo once the equipment is delivered.
Where the $6,900 goes:
• Fitting and training sessions: $175
• specialist standing frame: $6,500
• First-year servicing plan: $225
With deep gratitude,
Greyson

sending love, Greyson. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. My husband and I read this together. Take care.
Hope it all works out. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Wish I lived closer to Campinas so I could bring a meal. All the best
