Bogotá
Fernanda lives with cerebral palsy. The occupational therapist at the Bogotá Mobility Clinic has assessed her and recommended a prosthetic leg. The public scheme doesn't cover it, and the quote from the supplier is $2,050. Her current equipment is 13 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined her to home for 12 weeks. With the right equipment Fernanda could attend work interviews. 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 $2,050 goes: • prosthetic leg: $1,950 • Fitting and training sessions: $35 • Delivery and set-up: $15 • First-year servicing plan: $50 Glad we found this place. - Natalia
