Independence for Murat: specialist standing frame
Murat needs a specialist standing frame that the health system won't fund; the cost is $4,150.
🇩🇪 Germany1,435 views
Murat lives with a rare neuromuscular condition. The occupational therapist at Munich General Hospital has assessed him and recommended a specialist standing frame. The public scheme doesn't cover it, and the quote from the supplier is $4,150.
His current equipment is 13 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined him to home for 10 weeks.
With the right equipment Murat could speak with the people around him. 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 $4,150 goes:
• specialist standing frame: $3,500
• Fitting and training sessions: $125
• Delivery and set-up: $160
• First-year servicing plan: $365
Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot.
