Renato needs a specialist standing frame - help us make it happen
A specialist standing frame would give Renato independence - we're $2,700 away.

I live with a rare neuromuscular condition. My occupational therapist at Contagem General Hospital has assessed me and recommended a specialist standing frame. The public scheme doesn't cover it, and the quote from the supplier is $2,700.
My current equipment is 14 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined me to home for 12 weeks.
With the right equipment I could go to school independently. 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 $2,700 goes:
• specialist standing frame: $2,450
• Fitting and training sessions: $105
• Delivery and set-up: $35
• First-year servicing plan: $110
Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.

this could happen to any of us. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. Thinking of Contagem.
Sending strength, Renato. I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. Thinking of Contagem.
Looking forward to the next update. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. Greetings from Hải Phòng.
Thinking of you. Get well soon. Wish I lived closer to Gujranwala so I could bring a meal. All the best.
