Independence for Ricardo: specialist standing frame

Ricardo lives with a rare neuromuscular condition. The occupational therapist at the Granada 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 $1,950. His current equipment is 10 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined him to home for 8 weeks. With the right equipment Ricardo 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. Funds go toward the equipment, delivery, fitting and a year of servicing. Where the $1,950 goes: • Fitting and training sessions: $190 • specialist standing frame: $1,650 • Delivery and set-up: $110 If you're reading this, thank you. - Mariana
