A prosthetic leg for Larisa: help me move freely
Help Larisa get a prosthetic leg so She can go outside without waiting for someone to push.
🇷🇴 Timișoara, Timiș, Romania3,804 views
I live with an amputation below the knee. My occupational therapist at the Timișoara Rehabilitation Centre has assessed me and recommended a prosthetic leg. The public scheme doesn't cover it, and the quote from the supplier is $3,450.
My current equipment is 11 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined me to home for 12 weeks.
With the right equipment I could go outside without waiting for someone to push. 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 $3,450 goes:
• prosthetic leg: $3,200
• Fitting and training sessions: $130
• Delivery and set-up: $25
• First-year servicing plan: $95
Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.
