A prosthetic leg for Citra: help me move freely
A prosthetic leg would give Citra independence - we're $950 away.
🇮🇩 North Sumatra, Indonesia1,529 views
I live with muscular dystrophy. My occupational therapist at the Medan Rehabilitation Centre has assessed me and recommended a prosthetic leg. The public scheme doesn't cover it, and the quote from the supplier is $950.
My current equipment is 10 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined me to home for 8 weeks.
With the right equipment I could speak with the people around her. 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 $950 goes:
• Delivery and set-up: $25
• prosthetic leg: $920
• First-year servicing plan: $5
Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot.

Sending love, Citra. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day. Greetings from Los Angeles.
take care, Citra. Gave what I could, wish it was more. It's not much but it's yours. Thinking of Medan.
Wishing you peace. Hope this works out for you. Sent it to 22 people at work.
