A prosthetic leg for Pedro: help Pedro move freely
Help Pedro get a prosthetic leg so He can go outside without waiting for someone to push.
🇺🇸 California, United States232 views
Pedro lives with multiple sclerosis. The occupational therapist at Los Angeles General Hospital has assessed him and recommended a prosthetic leg. The public scheme doesn't cover it, and the quote from the supplier is $9,250.
His current equipment is 11 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined him to home for 7 weeks.
With the right equipment Pedro could go outside without waiting for someone to push. 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.
I'll pay the supplier directly from the funds, and I'll post a photo once the equipment is delivered.
Where the $9,250 goes:
• prosthetic leg: $8,750
• Fitting and training sessions: $125
• Delivery and set-up: $125
• First-year servicing plan: $250
Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.
