Mobility fund: specialist standing frame for Evgeny in Kazan
A specialist standing frame would give Evgeny independence - we're $200 away.
🇷🇺 Kazan, Tatarstan, Russia1,535 views
Evgeny lives with low vision from retinitis pigmentosa. The occupational therapist at Kazan 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 $200.
His current equipment is 11 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined him to home for 6 weeks.
With the right equipment Evgeny could attend work interviews. 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 $200 goes:
• Delivery and set-up: $45
• Fitting and training sessions: $65
• First-year servicing plan: $90
Glad we found this place.

So sorry you're going through this, Yevhen. Looking forward to the next update. Wish I lived closer to São Paulo so I could bring a meal.
Hang in there. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. I'm in retail myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you. God bless.
I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. My father had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. Greetings from Salem.
Sending good thoughts. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. Don't give up. Thinking of Kazan.
Thinking of you, Yevhen. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Put this on a community board in São Paulo this morning
Shared it with a few friends. My neighbor in Warsaw donated after I showed her your page. Love from Warsaw.
Wishing Evgeny a smooth procedure and a full recovery.
Sending strength, Yevhen. Hope the doctors have good news. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. Take care.
