Independence for Bartosz: specialist standing frame

Bartosz needs a specialist standing frame that the health system won't fund; the cost is $250.

Gliwice
I live with multiple sclerosis. My occupational therapist at Gliwice General Hospital has assessed me and recommended a specialist standing frame. The public scheme doesn't cover it, and the quote from the supplier is $250. My current equipment is 10 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined me to home for 7 weeks. With the right equipment I could go to school independently. 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. Funds go toward the equipment, delivery, fitting and a year of servicing. Where the $250 goes: • Delivery and set-up: $50 • Fitting and training sessions: $125 • First-year servicing plan: $75 You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.

            Wishing you the best, Bartosz. I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money
