Mobility fund: specialist standing frame for Salvador in Mexicali
Salvador needs a specialist standing frame that the health system won't fund; the cost is $1,100.

Salvador lives with multiple sclerosis. The occupational therapist at Mexicali General Hospital has assessed him and recommended a specialist standing frame. The public scheme doesn't cover it, and the quote from the supplier is $1,100.
His current equipment is 14 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined him to home for 7 weeks.
With the right equipment Salvador could speak with the people around him. 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 $1,100 goes:
• specialist standing frame: $940
• Fitting and training sessions: $50
• Delivery and set-up: $40
• First-year servicing plan: $70
Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.

Best of luck. I hope things turn around soon. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. Love from Rochester.
Take care. Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it
hang in there. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. All the best
Sending love, Víctor. Get well soon
