Luis lives with an amputation below the knee. The occupational therapist at the Zapopan Mobility Clinic has assessed him and recommended a prosthetic leg. The public scheme doesn't cover it, and the quote from the supplier is $800. His current equipment is 9 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined him to home for 6 weeks. With the right equipment Luis 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 $800 goes: • prosthetic leg: $680 • Fitting and training sessions: $40 • Delivery and set-up: $20 • First-year servicing plan: $60 If you can't give, please share this page. It does reach people. - Isabel

I can't speak highly enough about this helper. They were available when I needed them, supportive when I felt lost, and practical in their solutions.
