Mobility fund: specialist standing frame for Maria in București
Maria needs a specialist standing frame that the health system won't fund; the cost is $2,350.

Maria lives with muscular dystrophy. The occupational therapist at the București Rehabilitation Centre has assessed her and recommended a specialist standing frame. The public scheme doesn't cover it, and the quote from the supplier is $2,350.
Her current equipment is 13 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined her to home for 7 weeks.
With the right equipment Maria could speak with the people around her. 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 $2,350 goes:
• Delivery and set-up: $50
• specialist standing frame: $2,250
• First-year servicing plan: $50
Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot.
