Independence for Hideo: specialist standing frame
Help Hideo get a specialist standing frame so He can get to the shops and visit friends.

Hideo lives with multiple sclerosis. The occupational therapist at Nagoya 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 $6,900.
His current equipment is 8 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined him to home for 7 weeks.
With the right equipment Hideo 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 $6,900 goes:
• Delivery and set-up: $85
• Fitting and training sessions: $310
• specialist standing frame: $6,505
Thank you so much.

stay strong, Takashi. Get well soon. Thinking of Nagoya.
Thanks for sharing this. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. We're a small family in Sakai but we're thinking of you.
