A prosthetic leg for Mahmoud: help Mahmoud move freely
Help Mahmoud get a prosthetic leg so He can get to the shops and visit friends.
🇬🇧 Derry, Northern Ireland, United Kingdom4,401 views
Mahmoud lives with a rare neuromuscular condition. The occupational therapist at the Derry Rehabilitation Centre has assessed him and recommended a prosthetic leg. The public scheme doesn't cover it, and the quote from the supplier is $5,000.
His current equipment is 12 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined him to home for 5 weeks.
With the right equipment Mahmoud 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 $5,000 goes:
• First-year servicing plan: $170
• prosthetic leg: $4,750
• Delivery and set-up: $80
Thank you so much.
Updates from Ghassan
Update from Derry: I made the first payment toward delivery and set-up. We're at 35% of the goal. Thank you for believing in us.

Sending strength, Ghassan. Hope this works out for you. Thinking of Derry.
Shared this with my family. I went through something like this 6 years ago and strangers helped me out. Thinking of Derry.
Wishing you the best, Ghassan. Gave what I could, wish it was more. My cousin had a similar thing happen so this one hit home.
