I live with an amputation below the knee. My occupational therapist at the Paris 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 $5,200. My current equipment is 13 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined me to home for 8 weeks. With the right equipment I could get to the shops and visit friends. 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 $5,200 goes: • specialist standing frame: $4,650 • Fitting and training sessions: $125 • Delivery and set-up: $175 • First-year servicing plan: $250 Thanks for being kind about this. - Florian

Updates from Florian

  1. Good news. Because of your gifts ($2,397 in total) we've booked the dates and paid the deposit. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.

  2. Wanted to say thank you properly. 30% funded and I made the first payment toward first-year servicing plan.
