A prosthetic leg for Aarón: help Aarón move freely
Aarón needs a prosthetic leg that the health system won't fund; the cost is $2,200.

Aarón lives with multiple sclerosis. The occupational therapist at the Envigado Rehabilitation Centre has assessed him and recommended a prosthetic leg. The public scheme doesn't cover it, and the quote from the supplier is $2,200.
His current equipment is 12 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined him to home for 3 weeks.
With the right equipment Aarón could attend work interviews. 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.
Funds go toward the equipment, delivery, fitting and a year of servicing.
Where the $2,200 goes:
• prosthetic leg: $2,050
• Fitting and training sessions: $40
• Delivery and set-up: $35
• First-year servicing plan: $75
I'll pay this kindness forward the moment I'm able to.
