A prosthetic leg for Kim: help Kim move freely
A prosthetic leg would give Kim independence - we're $1,300 away.
🇻🇳 Vietnam1,791 views
Kim lives with a rare neuromuscular condition. The occupational therapist at Nha Trang General Hospital has assessed her and recommended a prosthetic leg. The public scheme doesn't cover it, and the quote from the supplier is $1,300.
Her current equipment is 13 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined her to home for 8 weeks.
With the right equipment Kim could join the school sports day. 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 $1,300 goes:
• prosthetic leg: $1,200
• Fitting and training sessions: $45
• Delivery and set-up: $30
• First-year servicing plan: $25
I'll pay this kindness forward the moment I'm able to.

Hope it all works out. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. My neighbor in Bacolod donated after I showed her your page. Love from Bacolod
Sending good thoughts, Đức. Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick. All the best.
You're not alone, Đức. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Greetings from São Paulo
Sending strength, Đức. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. I'm in engineering myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you.
Thanks for sharing this. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Greetings from Edinburgh.
