Nathan needs a specialist standing frame - help us make it happen
Nathan needs a specialist standing frame that the health system won't fund; the cost is $7,550.
🇺🇸 United States7,523 views
Nathan lives with a rare neuromuscular condition. The occupational therapist at the Louisville Mobility Clinic has assessed him and recommended a specialist standing frame. The public scheme doesn't cover it, and the quote from the supplier is $7,550.
His current equipment is 14 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined him to home for 3 weeks.
With the right equipment Nathan 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 $7,550 goes:
• Delivery and set-up: $110
• specialist standing frame: $7,250
• Fitting and training sessions: $190
Thanks for being kind about this.

Hang in there, James. Get well soon. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust. Take care.
Praying for you. I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too.
what's already covered and what's the $7,550 for?
Delivery and set-up is $110 of it. Everything else is listed in the story and nothing outside that list comes out of this page. Let me know if you want more detail.
Hope it all works out. Gave what I could, wish it was more. We're a small family in Yogyakarta but we're thinking of you. Love from Yogyakarta.
Hang in there, James. Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick. I went through something like this 9 years ago and strangers helped me out. Thinking of Louisville.
Shared it with a few friends. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. Love from Shreveport.
thinking of you and your family. Your post was clear and honest. I'm in retail myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you. God bless.
