Help Raúl get a specialist standing frame so He can speak with the people around him.

Raúl lives with cerebral palsy. The occupational therapist at La Plata 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 $800.
His current equipment is 9 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined him to home for 7 weeks.
With the right equipment Raúl 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 $800 goes:
• specialist standing frame: $650
• Fitting and training sessions: $35
• Delivery and set-up: $20
• First-year servicing plan: $95
I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.

Thinking of you, Verónica. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. We're a small family in Agra but we're thinking of you.
