Independence for Céline: specialist standing frame
A specialist standing frame would give Céline independence - we're $3,300 away.
🇨🇦 Toronto, Ontario, Canada766 views
Céline lives with muscular dystrophy. The occupational therapist at Toronto General Hospital has assessed her and recommended a specialist standing frame. The public scheme doesn't cover it, and the quote from the supplier is $3,300.
Her current equipment is 13 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined her to home for 4 weeks.
With the right equipment Céline could attend work interviews. 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 $3,300 goes:
• specialist standing frame: $2,850
• Fitting and training sessions: $105
• Delivery and set-up: $125
• First-year servicing plan: $220

Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Céline.
Everything on the list is an amount I've been quoted or invoiced. specialist standing frame comes first ($2,850) and I'll update the page as each thing gets paid. Fair thing to want to know.
Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Love from Sherbrooke
You're not alone. I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend. Thinking of Toronto.
