Recife
I live with multiple sclerosis. My occupational therapist at Recife General Hospital has assessed me and recommended a specialist standing frame. The public scheme doesn't cover it, and the quote from the supplier is $1,750. My current equipment is 12 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined me to home for 6 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 $1,750 goes: • specialist standing frame: $1,500 • Fitting and training sessions: $90 • Delivery and set-up: $40 • First-year servicing plan: $120 Glad we found this place. - Ricardo

      Praying for you, Ricardo. Wishing Ricardo a smooth procedure and a full recovery. I went through something like this 7 years ago and strangers helped me out.
