Moscow
I live with a spinal cord injury. My occupational therapist at the Moscow Mobility Clinic has assessed me and recommended a specialist standing frame. The public scheme doesn't cover it, and the quote from the supplier is $900. My current equipment is 13 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined me to home for 3 weeks. With the right equipment I could go outside without waiting for someone to push. 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 $900 goes: • Fitting and training sessions: $120 • Delivery and set-up: $50 • specialist standing frame: $730 I hope life is good to you.

    is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Anton.

    • Anton Dmitry SemenovOwnerAnswer

      Fitting and training sessions is $120 of it. Everything else is listed in the story and nothing outside that list comes out of this page. Appreciate you taking the time.
