Independence for Sofía: specialist standing frame
Sofía needs a specialist standing frame that the health system won't fund; the cost is $200.
🇲🇽 Mexico500 views
Sofía lives with profound hearing loss. The occupational therapist at Coyoacán 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 $200.
Her current equipment is 15 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined her to home for 5 weeks.
With the right equipment Sofía could go outside without waiting for someone to push. 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 $200 goes:
• Fitting and training sessions: $85
• First-year servicing plan: $100
• Delivery and set-up: $15
I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.

is there anything that isn't money that would help Sofía?
Thank you. If you're in Coyoacán I'll say if something practical comes up. For now sharing this is great.
Thanks for sharing this. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. God bless!
Hope it all works out, Susana. Wishing Sofía a smooth procedure and a full recovery. I have a 9 year old who wants to send good wishes too. Thinking of Coyoacán.
Wishing Sofía a smooth procedure and a full recovery. After 8 years in nursing I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Love from Peshawar
