A prosthetic leg for Jocelyn: help me move freely
Jocelyn needs a prosthetic leg that the health system won't fund; the cost is $650.

I live with multiple sclerosis. My occupational therapist at the San Jose Mobility Clinic has assessed me and recommended a prosthetic leg. The public scheme doesn't cover it, and the quote from the supplier is $650.
My current equipment is 11 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined me to home for 4 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.
I'll pay the supplier directly from the funds, and I'll post a photo once the equipment is delivered.
Where the $650 goes:
• Delivery and set-up: $120
• First-year servicing plan: $165
• Fitting and training sessions: $365
Every share and every dollar helps.

Thinking of you, Jocelyn. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. Love from Siliguri.
