A prosthetic leg for Sanjay: help Sanjay move freely
A prosthetic leg would give Sanjay independence - we're $800 away.
Anywhere in the world484 views
Sanjay lives with profound hearing loss. The occupational therapist at Aurangabad General Hospital has assessed him and recommended a prosthetic leg. The public scheme doesn't cover it, and the quote from the supplier is $800.
His current equipment is 10 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined him to home for 6 weeks.
With the right equipment Sanjay 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.
I'll pay the supplier directly from the funds, and I'll post a photo once the equipment is delivered.
Where the $800 goes:
• prosthetic leg: $690
• Fitting and training sessions: $55
• Delivery and set-up: $15
• First-year servicing plan: $40
Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.

I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. We're a small family in Manila but we're thinking of you
Sending love, Diya. It takes guts to ask. Well done. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. Take care.
Thanks for sharing this. Hope you get there. Don't give up.
is prosthetic leg the biggest cost or is there more coming?
Prosthetic leg is $690 of it. Everything else is listed in the story and nothing outside that list comes out of this page. Thanks, that means a lot.
Sending strength. I hope things turn around soon. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. Greetings from Amsterdam
how is Sanjay doing now?
Best of luck, Diya. Hope you get there. Blessings
Sending love, Diya. Hope the doctors have good news. Don't give up!
Hope things get better soon. Wishing Sanjay a smooth procedure and a full recovery. After 12 years in farming I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Blessings.
Wishing you the best, Diya. Hope the doctors have good news. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry.
