Mobility fund: specialist standing frame for Vasile in București
Vasile needs a specialist standing frame that the health system won't fund; the cost is $250.

Vasile lives with cerebral palsy. The occupational therapist at București 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 $250.
His current equipment is 12 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined him to home for 6 weeks.
With the right equipment Vasile could go outside without waiting for someone to push. 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.
I'll pay the supplier directly from the funds, and I'll post a photo once the equipment is delivered.
Where the $250 goes:
• Delivery and set-up: $30
• First-year servicing plan: $85
• Fitting and training sessions: $135
You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.

Thanks for sharing this, Ștefan. Gave what I could, wish it was more. I have a 14 year old who wants to send good wishes too. Love from Ekurhuleni.
Hang in there. Shared it with a few friends. I went through something like this 4 years ago and strangers helped me out. God bless.
Rooting for you, Ștefan. Hope you get there. All the best
Good luck. I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. Love from Limerick
Thanks for sharing this, Ștefan. Looking forward to the next update. Don't be hard on yourself for asking. Blessings
So sorry you're going through this, Ștefan. Get well soon. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. Thinking of București.
