Hayato needs a specialist standing frame - help us make it happen
A specialist standing frame would give Hayato independence - we are $3,850 away.

Hayato lives with multiple sclerosis. The occupational therapist at Tokyo General Hospital has assessed him and recommended a specialist standing frame. The public scheme doesn't cover it, and the quote from the supplier is $3,850.
His current equipment is 13 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined him to home for 6 weeks.
With the right equipment Hayato could get to the shops and visit friends. 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 $3,850 goes:
• specialist standing frame: $3,400
• Fitting and training sessions: $200
• Delivery and set-up: $85
• First-year servicing plan: $165
You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.
Updates from Tomoya
Good news. Because of your gifts ($483 in total) the plan for specialist standing frame is now scheduled. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.
