Julieta lives with a rare neuromuscular condition. The occupational therapist at the Dallas Rehabilitation Centre has assessed her and recommended a specialist standing frame. The public scheme doesn't cover it, and the quote from the supplier is $5,850. Her current equipment is 10 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined her to home for 7 weeks. With the right equipment Julieta 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. Funds go toward the equipment, delivery, fitting and a year of servicing. Where the $5,850 goes: • specialist standing frame: $5,250 • Fitting and training sessions: $330 • Delivery and set-up: $70 • First-year servicing plan: $200 I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.

Updates from María

  1. Wanted to say thank you properly. 40% funded and I made the first payment toward delivery and set-up.

  2. Good news. Because of your gifts ($1,613 in total) we've booked the dates and paid the deposit. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.

  3. 12% there. we've started the first stage. Thank you.

    Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick. I went through something like this 6 years ago and strangers helped me out. All the best.

        Thinking of you and your family, María. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. My mother had a similar thing happen so this one hit home

        • Galih Vino Kartika

          Sending strength, María. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry.
