A prosthetic leg for Claire: help Claire move freely
A prosthetic leg would give Claire independence - we're $6,850 away.

Claire lives with low vision from retinitis pigmentosa. The occupational therapist at the Chattanooga Mobility Clinic has assessed her and recommended a prosthetic leg. The public scheme doesn't cover it, and the quote from the supplier is $6,850.
Her current equipment is 12 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined her to home for 12 weeks.
With the right equipment Claire could go outside without waiting for someone to push. 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.
I'll pay the supplier directly from the funds, and I'll post a photo once the equipment is delivered.
Where the $6,850 goes:
• prosthetic leg: $6,250
• Fitting and training sessions: $110
• Delivery and set-up: $110
• First-year servicing plan: $380
I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen.
