A prosthetic leg for Wekesa: help Wekesa move freely
A prosthetic leg would give Wekesa independence - we're $850 away.
🇰🇪 Thika, Kiambu, Kenya328 views
Wekesa lives with cerebral palsy. The occupational therapist at the Thika Mobility Clinic has assessed him and recommended a prosthetic leg. The public scheme doesn't cover it, and the quote from the supplier is $850.
His current equipment is 8 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined him to home for 6 weeks.
With the right equipment Wekesa 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 $850 goes:
• prosthetic leg: $680
• Fitting and training sessions: $60
• Delivery and set-up: $30
• First-year servicing plan: $80
If you're reading this, thank you.

Updates from Mugisha
Small update. $140 so far, the plan for first-year servicing plan is now scheduled.
Good news. Because of your gifts ($60 in total) I made the first payment toward prosthetic leg. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.
