Randall lives with a rare neuromuscular condition. The occupational therapist at the Kansas City Rehabilitation Centre has assessed him and recommended a specialist standing frame. The public scheme doesn't cover it, and the quote from the supplier is $4,250. His current equipment is 8 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined him to home for 12 weeks. With the right equipment Randall could join the school sports day. 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 $4,250 goes: • specialist standing frame: $3,600 • Fitting and training sessions: $310 • Delivery and set-up: $175 • First-year servicing plan: $165 If you're reading this, thank you.
