Geneviève needs a specialist standing frame - help us make it happen
Geneviève needs a specialist standing frame that the health system won't fund; the cost is $3,600.
🇫🇷 Grenoble, Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes, France5,257 views
I live with a rare neuromuscular condition. My occupational therapist at the Grenoble Rehabilitation Centre has assessed me and recommended a specialist standing frame. The public scheme doesn't cover it, and the quote from the supplier is $3,600.
My current equipment is 14 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined me to home for 4 weeks.
With the right equipment I could attend work interviews. It would change my everyday life and my ability to work from home.
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 $3,600 goes:
• specialist standing frame: $3,150
• Fitting and training sessions: $200
• Delivery and set-up: $60
• First-year servicing plan: $190
If you're reading this, thank you.

Praying for you, Geneviève. Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick. Thinking of Grenoble
How is Geneviève doing now?
So sorry you're going through this. Gave what I could, wish it was more. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. All the best.
Hope it all works out. I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like
Wishing you the best, Geneviève. Wishing Geneviève a smooth procedure and a full recovery. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. God bless.
take care, Geneviève. Hope this works out for you. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double
This could happen to any of us. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Love from Setagaya!
