A specialist standing frame for Robert: help Robert move freely
Help Robert get a specialist standing frame so He can speak with the people around him.
🇨🇦 London, Ontario, Canada2,828 views
Robert lives with multiple sclerosis. The occupational therapist at London General Hospital has assessed him and recommended a specialist standing frame. The public scheme doesn't cover it, and the quote from the supplier is $6,950.
His current equipment is 10 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined him to home for 7 weeks.
With the right equipment Robert could speak with the people around him. 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.
Funds go toward the equipment, delivery, fitting and a year of servicing.
Where the $6,950 goes:
• First-year servicing plan: $390
• specialist standing frame: $6,500
• Delivery and set-up: $60

Looking forward to the next update. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. Thinking of London

Wishing Robert a smooth procedure and a full recovery. It's not much but it's yours.
