A prosthetic leg for Rima: help Rima move freely
Help Rima get a prosthetic leg so She can go outside without waiting for someone to push.
Anywhere in the world671 views
Rima lives with low vision from retinitis pigmentosa. The occupational therapist at the Chattogram Rehabilitation Centre has assessed her and recommended a prosthetic leg. The public scheme doesn't cover it, and the quote from the supplier is $700.
Her current equipment is 15 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined her to home for 4 weeks.
With the right equipment Rima 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.
Funds go toward the equipment, delivery, fitting and a year of servicing.
Where the $700 goes:
• prosthetic leg: $640
• First-year servicing plan: $20
• Delivery and set-up: $40
Thank you so much.

So sorry you're going through this, Noman. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Take care.
Shared it with a few friends. We're a small family in Limoges but we're thinking of you. Thinking of Chattogram!
Best of luck. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. All the best
Hope things get better soon, Noman. This could happen to any of us. Blessings.
Stay strong. Get well soon. My neighbor in Noida donated after I showed her your page.
