Mobility fund: specialist standing frame for Nicolae in Timișoara
A specialist standing frame would give Nicolae independence - we're $300 away.

I live with cerebral palsy. My occupational therapist at Timișoara General Hospital has assessed me and recommended a specialist standing frame. The public scheme doesn't cover it, and the quote from the supplier is $300.
My current equipment is 13 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined me to home for 5 weeks.
With the right equipment I could go outside without waiting for someone to push. 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 $300 goes:
• Fitting and training sessions: $100
• Delivery and set-up: $40
• First-year servicing plan: $160
I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.
- Nicolae

Thinking of you, Nicolae. Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick. Take care
is there anything that isn't money that would help Nicolae?
Thank you. If you're in Timișoara I'll say if something practical comes up. For now sharing this is great. I'll keep the page updated.
Sending strength, Nicolae. This could happen to any of us. Thinking of Timișoara.

Good luck, Nicolae. Your post was clear and honest. I went through something like this 5 years ago and strangers helped me out. Thinking of Timișoara
Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Don't be hard on yourself for asking. Greetings from Abuja.
