Beau needs a prosthetic leg - help us make it happen
A prosthetic leg would give Beau independence - we're $6,750 away.
🇬🇧 Scotland, United Kingdom5,304 views
Beau lives with muscular dystrophy. The occupational therapist at the Dundee Rehabilitation Centre has assessed him and recommended a prosthetic leg. The public scheme doesn't cover it, and the quote from the supplier is $6,750.
His current equipment is 11 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined him to home for 4 weeks.
With the right equipment Beau 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 $6,750 goes:
• prosthetic leg: $6,250
• Fitting and training sessions: $200
• Delivery and set-up: $70
• First-year servicing plan: $230
Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.

Rooting for you, Roman. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. God bless
Stay strong, Roman. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. I'm in social work myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you. Love from Houston.
Sending strength, Roman. Shared it with a few friends. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too
thinking of you and your family. Wishing Beau a smooth procedure and a full recovery
Best of luck, Roman. I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. All the best.
