Mobility fund: specialist standing frame for Elisabeth in Munich
Elisabeth needs a specialist standing frame that the health system won't fund; the cost is $7,950.
🇩🇪 Munich, Bavaria, Germany8,876 views
Elisabeth lives with muscular dystrophy. The occupational therapist at Munich 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 $7,950.
Her current equipment is 14 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined her to home for 6 weeks.
With the right equipment Elisabeth could go to school independently. 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.
Funds go toward the equipment, delivery, fitting and a year of servicing.
Where the $7,950 goes:
• specialist standing frame: $7,500
• Fitting and training sessions: $130
• Delivery and set-up: $155
• First-year servicing plan: $165
Thanks for being kind about this.

best of luck. This could happen to any of us. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. Greetings from London.
Wishing you the best, Jonas. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes.

Sure. The biggest one is specialist standing frame, $7,500. The rest is in the list at the bottom of the post and I'll upload receipts as I pay each one. Appreciate you taking the time.
Stay strong. I hope things turn around soon. I'll check back for the next update.
Thanks for sharing this, Jonas. Looking forward to the next update. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Take care
