A prosthetic leg for Bo-ra: help me move freely
Bo-ra needs a prosthetic leg that the health system won't fund; the cost is $4,300.
🇰🇷 Gangnam, Seoul, South Korea5,917 views
I live with cerebral palsy. My occupational therapist at Gangnam General Hospital has assessed me and recommended a prosthetic leg. The public scheme doesn't cover it, and the quote from the supplier is $4,300.
My current equipment is 15 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined me to home for 5 weeks.
With the right equipment I could go outside without waiting for someone to push. 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.
I'll pay the supplier directly from the funds, and I'll post a photo once the equipment is delivered.
Where the $4,300 goes:
• prosthetic leg: $3,950
• Fitting and training sessions: $150
• Delivery and set-up: $40
• First-year servicing plan: $160
Every share and every dollar helps.

Stay strong, Bo-ra. Get well soon.
How is Bo-ra doing now?
Keep going, Bo-ra. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Wish I lived closer to Augsburg so I could bring a meal
Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Bo-ra
Prosthetic leg is $3,950 of it. Everything else is listed in the story and nothing outside that list comes out of this page. I'll keep the page updated.
Thinking of you, Bo-ra. Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick!
Keep going. Gave what I could, wish it was more. After 15 years in farming I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Thinking of Gangnam.
is there anything that isn't money that would help Bo-ra?
hang in there, Bo-ra. This could happen to any of us. Take care.
Stay strong, Bo-ra. Wishing Bo-ra a smooth procedure and a full recovery. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust
I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. My neighbor in Nashik donated after I showed her your page.
Hope it all works out. I hope things turn around soon. My sister had a similar thing happen so this one hit home.
You're not alone, Bo-ra. Shared this with my family
