A specialist standing frame for Oskar: help Oskar move freely
A specialist standing frame would give Oskar independence - we're $7,300 away.

Oskar lives with low vision from retinitis pigmentosa. The occupational therapist at the Cardiff Mobility Clinic has assessed him and recommended a specialist standing frame. The public scheme doesn't cover it, and the quote from the supplier is $7,300.
His current equipment is 12 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined him to home for 4 weeks.
With the right equipment Oskar could join the school sports day. It would change everyday life for the whole family.
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 $7,300 goes:
• Delivery and set-up: $185
• specialist standing frame: $7,000
• Fitting and training sessions: $115
Thank you for reading my story.

stay strong, Justyna. Shared it with a few friends. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too.
Praying for you, Justyna. I hope things turn around soon. Don't give up.
