🇫🇷 Saint-Denis, Île-de-France, France3,751 views
I live with profound hearing loss. My occupational therapist at the Saint-Denis 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 $6,450.
My current equipment is 8 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined me to home for 6 weeks.
With the right equipment I could join the school sports day. 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 $6,450 goes:
• specialist standing frame: $5,750
• Fitting and training sessions: $300
• Delivery and set-up: $135
• First-year servicing plan: $265
Every share and every dollar helps.

is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Boubacar
So sorry you're going through this, Boubacar. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. After 12 years in accounting I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Greetings from Campinas.
It takes guts to ask. Well done. Sent it to 7 people at work.
Thinking of you. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Put this on a community board in Nsukka this morning. Love from Nsukka.
