A prosthetic leg for Emiliano: help Emiliano move freely
Emiliano needs a prosthetic leg that the health system won't fund; the cost is $500.

Emiliano lives with an amputation below the knee. The occupational therapist at the Rockford Rehabilitation Centre has assessed him and recommended a prosthetic leg. The public scheme doesn't cover it, and the quote from the supplier is $500.
His current equipment is 10 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined him to home for 10 weeks.
With the right equipment Emiliano could speak with the people around him. 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 $500 goes:
• Delivery and set-up: $60
• First-year servicing plan: $180
• Fitting and training sessions: $260
Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot.
