Flint
I live with multiple sclerosis. My occupational therapist at the Flint 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 $4,650. My current equipment is 14 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined me to home for 12 weeks. With the right equipment I could attend work interviews. 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 $4,650 goes: • Fitting and training sessions: $300 • specialist standing frame: $4,150 • First-year servicing plan: $200 I'll pay this kindness forward the moment I'm able to.
