Mobility fund: specialist standing frame for Stefania in Rome
Stefania needs a specialist standing frame that the health system won't fund; the cost is $4,200.

I live with muscular dystrophy. My occupational therapist at the Rome 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 $4,200.
My current equipment is 8 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined me to home for 5 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 $4,200 goes:
• specialist standing frame: $3,750
• Fitting and training sessions: $220
• Delivery and set-up: $90
• First-year servicing plan: $140
Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot.
