A prosthetic leg for Ignacio: help Ignacio move freely
A prosthetic leg would give Ignacio independence - we're $3,100 away.

Ignacio lives with profound hearing loss. The occupational therapist at the Iztapalapa Rehabilitation Centre has assessed him and recommended a prosthetic leg. The public scheme doesn't cover it, and the quote from the supplier is $3,100.
His current equipment is 9 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined him to home for 6 weeks.
With the right equipment Ignacio could go to school independently. 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.
Funds go toward the equipment, delivery, fitting and a year of servicing.
Where the $3,100 goes:
• prosthetic leg: $3,000
• Delivery and set-up: $30
• Fitting and training sessions: $70
Thank you so much.

Wishing Ignacio a smooth procedure and a full recovery. All the best
you're not alone, Emiliano. It takes guts to ask. Well done. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust. God bless
Hope the doctors have good news. Love from Jodhpur
Wishing you the best. Shared this with my family. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. God bless.
Wishing you peace, Emiliano. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes
So sorry you're going through this. Get well soon. I'm in social work myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you. Take care.
Thinking of you and your family. Hope you get there. I have a 7 year old who wants to send good wishes too. Take care
