Help Leonardo get a specialist standing frame so He can go to school independently.

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. - Ivy

                  Praying for you. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Wish I lived closer to Colombo so I could bring a meal.
