Thierry needs a specialist standing frame - help us make it happen
Help Thierry get a specialist standing frame so He can attend work interviews.
🇫🇷 Saint-Étienne, Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes, France3,356 views
I live with low vision from retinitis pigmentosa. My occupational therapist at the Saint-Étienne 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 $4,900.
My current equipment is 13 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.
Funds go toward the equipment, delivery, fitting and a year of servicing.
Where the $4,900 goes:
• First-year servicing plan: $110
• Delivery and set-up: $90
• specialist standing frame: $4,700
Thank you for reading my story.
