Nongnuch lives with an amputation below the knee. The occupational therapist at Bang Khen General Hospital has assessed her and recommended a prosthetic leg. The public scheme doesn't cover it, and the quote from the supplier is $1,850. Her current equipment is 9 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined her to home for 12 weeks. With the right equipment Nongnuch could go to school independently. 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 $1,850 goes: • prosthetic leg: $1,700 • Fitting and training sessions: $70 • Delivery and set-up: $40 • First-year servicing plan: $40 You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.

      Sending love, Busaba. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. Love from Sapporo
