Independence for Masaru: specialist standing frame
Help Masaru get a specialist standing frame so He can go to school independently.
🇯🇵 Osaka, Osaka, Japan2,584 views
Masaru lives with a spinal cord injury. The occupational therapist at the Osaka Mobility Clinic has assessed him and recommended a specialist standing frame. The public scheme doesn't cover it, and the quote from the supplier is $7,800.
His current equipment is 8 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined him to home for 10 weeks.
With the right equipment Masaru 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 $7,800 goes:
• specialist standing frame: $7,250
• Fitting and training sessions: $170
• Delivery and set-up: $115
• First-year servicing plan: $265

Thanks for sharing this. Hope this works out for you. We're a small family in Sydney but we're thinking of you. Blessings
Wishing you peace. This could happen to any of us. My neighbor in Adama donated after I showed her your page. Take care
is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Masaru
So sorry you're going through this. Hope this works out for you. Sent it to 22 people at work. Greetings from Anaheim!
Hope things get better soon. Hope the doctors have good news. Please keep us posted. Take care
Thanks for sharing this, Kazuki. Looking forward to the next update. Wish I lived closer to Bornova so I could bring a meal.
Thinking of you and your family. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Greetings from Rochester.
