I live with a rare neuromuscular condition. My occupational therapist at Adama General Hospital has assessed me and recommended a prosthetic leg. The public scheme doesn't cover it, and the quote from the supplier is $400. My current equipment is 10 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined me to home for 5 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 $400 goes: • prosthetic leg: $350 • Fitting and training sessions: $25 • Delivery and set-up: $15 • First-year servicing plan: $10 I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen.

  • Take care, Abebe. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. Greetings from Bacolod.

    • sending strength, Abebe. Hope the doctors have good news. Take care.
