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.
