A prosthetic leg for Sérgio: help Sérgio move freely

A prosthetic leg would give Sérgio independence - we are $150 away.

Sérgio lives with low vision from retinitis pigmentosa. The occupational therapist at the Caxias do Sul Rehabilitation Centre has assessed him and recommended a prosthetic leg. The public scheme doesn't cover it, and the quote from the supplier is $150. His current equipment is 9 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined him to home for 3 weeks. With the right equipment Sérgio could attend work interviews. 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 $150 goes: • First-year servicing plan: $55 • Fitting and training sessions: $40 • Delivery and set-up: $55 Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot.
