Independence for Idris: specialist standing frame

Idris needs a specialist standing frame that the health system won't fund; the cost is $6,400.

Strasbourg
I live with cerebral palsy. My occupational therapist at the Strasbourg Mobility Clinic has assessed me and recommended a specialist standing frame. The public scheme doesn't cover it, and the quote from the supplier is $6,400. My current equipment is 15 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined me to home for 10 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. I'll pay the supplier directly from the funds, and I'll post a photo once the equipment is delivered. Where the $6,400 goes: • specialist standing frame: $5,750 • Fitting and training sessions: $320 • Delivery and set-up: $130 • First-year servicing plan: $200 Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot.
