Mobility fund: specialist standing frame for Isabel in A Coruña
Isabel needs a specialist standing frame that the health system won't fund; the cost is $5,150.

Isabel lives with a spinal cord injury. The occupational therapist at A Coruña 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 $5,150.
Her current equipment is 13 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined her to home for 4 weeks.
With the right equipment Isabel could speak with the people around her. 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 $5,150 goes:
• Fitting and training sessions: $190
• First-year servicing plan: $250
• specialist standing frame: $4,710
Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.

Thinking of you, Juan. Hope the doctors have good news. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day.
praying for you. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like
Best of luck. Shared it with a few friends. I went through something like this 8 years ago and strangers helped me out. Thinking of A Coruña.
Shared this with my family. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust. Love from Ribeirão Preto.
Thanks for sharing this. Wishing Isabel a smooth procedure and a full recovery. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day!
