A prosthetic leg for Tamaki: help Tamaki move freely
Help Tamaki get a prosthetic leg so She can go to school independently.
🇯🇵 Kanagawa, Japan1,961 views
Tamaki lives with an amputation below the knee. The occupational therapist at the Yokohama Rehabilitation Centre has assessed her and recommended a prosthetic leg. The public scheme doesn't cover it, and the quote from the supplier is $5,450.
Her current equipment is 12 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined her to home for 12 weeks.
With the right equipment Tamaki 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 $5,450 goes:
• prosthetic leg: $4,900
• Fitting and training sessions: $170
• Delivery and set-up: $50
• First-year servicing plan: $330
You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.

Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Tamaki!
The list at the bottom is the whole picture. prosthetic leg is the biggest at $4,900. Good question.
Stay strong, Tatsuya. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. Thinking of Yokohama
rooting for you, Tatsuya. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. Blessings.
rooting for you. Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust. Love from Phoenix.
