Ethan needs a specialist standing frame - help us make it happen
Help Ethan get a specialist standing frame so He can speak with the people around him.
🇫🇷 Saint-Denis, Île-de-France, France343 views
Ethan lives with multiple sclerosis. The occupational therapist at the Saint-Denis 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 $600.
His current equipment is 10 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined him to home for 4 weeks.
With the right equipment Ethan 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.
I'll pay the supplier directly from the funds, and I'll post a photo once the equipment is delivered.
Where the $600 goes:
• Delivery and set-up: $90
• Fitting and training sessions: $185
• First-year servicing plan: $325
I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen.

good luck, Agnès. This could happen to any of us. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. Thinking of Saint-Denis.
Gave what I could, wish it was more. Wish I lived closer to Tampa so I could bring a meal.
Get well soon. Love from Paarl.
take care. Shared it with a few friends. Thinking of Saint-Denis.
good luck. Hope the doctors have good news. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected.
Hope it all works out, Agnès. Hope you get there. I have a 17 year old who wants to send good wishes too!
