Boulogne-Billancourt

Arthur lives with cerebral palsy. The occupational therapist at Boulogne-Billancourt 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 $2,950. His current equipment is 15 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined him to home for 3 weeks. With the right equipment Arthur could go outside without waiting for someone to push. 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 $2,950 goes: • specialist standing frame: $2,600 • Delivery and set-up: $185 • First-year servicing plan: $165 Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot. - Guillaume
