Mobility fund: specialist standing frame for Luiz in Niterói
A specialist standing frame would give Luiz independence - we're $1,250 away.

I live with an amputation below the knee. My occupational therapist at the Niterói Rehabilitation Centre has assessed me and recommended a specialist standing frame. The public scheme doesn't cover it, and the quote from the supplier is $1,250.
My current equipment is 11 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined me to home for 10 weeks.
With the right equipment I could go outside without waiting for someone to push. 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.
I'll pay the supplier directly from the funds, and I'll post a photo once the equipment is delivered.
Where the $1,250 goes:
• Delivery and set-up: $30
• specialist standing frame: $1,100
• Fitting and training sessions: $120
Ask me anything below before you decide. I'd rather you were sure.

Take care, Luiz. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest
Best of luck, Luiz. This could happen to any of us.
