In her published account, Gianna, a parent living on Lesbos in Greece, describes how peripheral neuropathy left her with weak legs and frequent falls. Her daughter found the falls frightening. Everyday jobs had become difficult, and Gianna wanted to move around her home with more confidence.
After getting LifeGlider, she practised a little at a time and rested when she needed to. She describes using it around the house, sweeping the floor, reaching kitchen cupboards and going for walks. The film records a particularly emotional moment: her daughter arriving home to find her standing. Gianna says her daughter wanted to go walking and shopping with her, and valued seeing her mother do more things independently.
