Mobility fund: specialist standing frame for Leonardo in Cincinnati
Help Leonardo get a specialist standing frame so He can go to school independently.
🇺🇸 United States2,460 views
Leonardo lives with multiple sclerosis. The occupational therapist at the Cincinnati 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 $2,750.
His current equipment is 9 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined him to home for 5 weeks.
With the right equipment Leonardo 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 $2,750 goes:
• specialist standing frame: $2,050
• Fitting and training sessions: $200
• Delivery and set-up: $120
• First-year servicing plan: $380
You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.
