Québec

I live with low vision from retinitis pigmentosa. My occupational therapist at the Québec 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 $750. My current equipment is 8 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined me to home for 10 weeks. With the right equipment I could join the school sports day. 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 $750 goes: • First-year servicing plan: $270 • Delivery and set-up: $110 • Fitting and training sessions: $370 Thank you for reading my story.
