Help Randall get a specialist standing frame so He can join the school sports day.
🇺🇸 United States1,525 views
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

rooting for you. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Sent it to 21 people at work. Thinking of Kansas City.
Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Randall.
Everything on the list is an amount I've been quoted or invoiced. specialist standing frame comes first ($3,600) and I'll update the page as each thing gets paid.
Hope the doctors have good news. Thinking of Kansas City.
Is there anything that isn't money that would help Randall?
