Guadalupe needs a specialist standing frame - help us make it happen
Guadalupe needs a specialist standing frame that the health system won't fund; the cost is $1,200.

Guadalupe lives with multiple sclerosis. The occupational therapist at Zapopan 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 $1,200.
Her current equipment is 10 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined her to home for 5 weeks.
With the right equipment Guadalupe 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.
I'll pay the supplier directly from the funds, and I'll post a photo once the equipment is delivered.
Where the $1,200 goes:
• specialist standing frame: $950
• Fitting and training sessions: $110
• Delivery and set-up: $55
• First-year servicing plan: $85
Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot.

Thanks for sharing this, Alberto. I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. My cousin had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. Take care.
Wishing Guadalupe a smooth procedure and a full recovery. I have a 15 year old who wants to send good wishes too.
Sending good thoughts, Alberto. Wishing Guadalupe a smooth procedure and a full recovery. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend.
