Maringá
I live with a spinal cord injury. My occupational therapist at the Maringá Mobility Clinic has assessed me and recommended a specialist standing frame. The public scheme doesn't cover it, and the quote from the supplier is $1,700. My current equipment is 12 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined me to home for 5 weeks. With the right equipment I could get to the shops and visit friends. It would change my everyday life and my ability to work from home. 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 $1,700 goes: • specialist standing frame: $1,450 • Fitting and training sessions: $90 • Delivery and set-up: $60 • First-year servicing plan: $100 Ask me anything below before you decide. I'd rather you were sure.
