Monterrey
Julián lives with muscular dystrophy. The occupational therapist at the Monterrey Mobility Clinic has assessed him and recommended a prosthetic leg. The public scheme doesn't cover it, and the quote from the supplier is $950. His current equipment is 12 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined him to home for 3 weeks. With the right equipment Julián could get to the shops and visit friends. 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 $950 goes: • First-year servicing plan: $120 • prosthetic leg: $800 • Delivery and set-up: $30 I hope life is good to you.
