São Paulo
I live with multiple sclerosis. My occupational therapist at the São Paulo Rehabilitation Centre has assessed me and recommended a specialist standing frame. The public scheme doesn't cover it, and the quote from the supplier is $1,700. My current equipment is 12 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined me to home for 5 weeks. With the right equipment I could speak with the people around her. 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. I'll pay the supplier directly from the funds, and I'll post a photo once the equipment is delivered. Where the $1,700 goes: • Delivery and set-up: $35 • Fitting and training sessions: $90 • specialist standing frame: $1,575 I hope life is good to you.
