Mobility fund: specialist standing frame for Manoel in Londrina
A specialist standing frame would give Manoel independence - we're $1,050 away.
🇧🇷 Paraná, Brazil1,102 views
Manoel lives with muscular dystrophy. The occupational therapist at the Londrina Rehabilitation Centre has assessed him and recommended a specialist standing frame. The public scheme doesn't cover it, and the quote from the supplier is $1,050.
His current equipment is 11 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined him to home for 12 weeks.
With the right equipment Manoel could attend work interviews. 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 $1,050 goes:
• Fitting and training sessions: $130
• specialist standing frame: $870
• Delivery and set-up: $50
Every share and every dollar helps.

Sending good thoughts, Valentina. Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick.
Rooting for you. Get well soon. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double
wishing you peace, Valentina. Hope the doctors have good news. It's not much but it's yours. Take care.
This could happen to any of us. I have a 15 year old who wants to send good wishes too
You're not alone, Valentina. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. God bless.
Thinking of you. Get well soon. Don't be hard on yourself for asking.
