A prosthetic leg for Luna: help me move freely
Help Luna get a prosthetic leg so She can attend work interviews.
Anywhere in the world6,059 views
I live with muscular dystrophy. My occupational therapist at the London Rehabilitation Centre has assessed me and recommended a prosthetic leg. The public scheme doesn't cover it, and the quote from the supplier is $6,500.
My current equipment is 15 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined me to home for 5 weeks.
With the right equipment I could attend work interviews. 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.
Funds go toward the equipment, delivery, fitting and a year of servicing.
Where the $6,500 goes:
• Fitting and training sessions: $280
• First-year servicing plan: $220
• prosthetic leg: $6,000
I hope life is good to you.

Hang in there. Hope the doctors have good news. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Greetings from Mumbai.
wishing you the best, Luna. Wishing Luna a smooth procedure and a full recovery. Blessings.
Hang in there. This could happen to any of us. Sent it to 18 people at work. Take care.
You're not alone, Luna. I hope things turn around soon. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend. Take care.
Wishing you peace, Luna. I hope things turn around soon. Put this on a community board in Thane this morning. All the best.
Stay strong, Luna. Gave what I could, wish it was more. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. All the best.
