A prosthetic leg for Vy: help me move freely
Help Vy get a prosthetic leg so She can go to school independently.

I live with profound hearing loss. My occupational therapist at Hồ Chí Minh City General Hospital has assessed me and recommended a prosthetic leg. The public scheme doesn't cover it, and the quote from the supplier is $850.
My current equipment is 9 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined me to home for 10 weeks.
With the right equipment I could go to school independently. It would change my everyday life and my ability to work from home.
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 $850 goes:
• First-year servicing plan: $20
• prosthetic leg: $780
• Fitting and training sessions: $50
I hope life is good to you.
