A prosthetic leg for Madhu: help Madhu move freely
Help Madhu get a prosthetic leg so She can speak with the people around her.
🇮🇳 Thane, Maharashtra, India1,551 views
Madhu lives with low vision from retinitis pigmentosa. The occupational therapist at the Thane Mobility Clinic 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 10 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined her to home for 6 weeks.
With the right equipment Madhu could speak with the people around her. 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: $55
• Delivery and set-up: $20
• First-year servicing plan: $25
With deep gratitude,
Seema

Good news. Because of your gifts ($595 in total) the plan for first-year servicing plan is now scheduled. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.

Thanks for sharing this. Shared it with a few friends. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. Blessings
keep going, Seema. I hope things turn around soon. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. Take care.
Wishing you peace. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. I went through something like this 12 years ago and strangers helped me out. Thinking of Thane.
