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, Grand Est, France4,503 views
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.

Shared it with a few friends. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. Love from Contagem.
Hope things get better soon, Idris. Hope the doctors have good news. After 28 years in hospitality I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Thinking of Strasbourg.
Sending love, Idris. Hope you get there. Blessings.
you're not alone, Idris. Hope you get there. Blessings.
I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. I have a 12 year old who wants to send good wishes too. Thinking of Strasbourg.
Take care, Idris. Looking forward to the next update. I'll check back for the next update. God bless.
