Bunga needs a prosthetic leg - help us make it happen
A prosthetic leg would give Bunga independence - we're $600 away.
🇮🇩 Indonesia1,201 views
Bunga lives with profound hearing loss. The occupational therapist at Bogor General Hospital has assessed her and recommended a prosthetic leg. The public scheme doesn't cover it, and the quote from the supplier is $600.
Her current equipment is 13 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined her to home for 7 weeks.
With the right equipment Bunga 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 $600 goes:
• First-year servicing plan: $40
• Fitting and training sessions: $45
• prosthetic leg: $515
Ask me anything below before you decide. I'd rather you were sure.

is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Bunga
First-year servicing plan is $40 of it. Everything else is listed in the story and nothing outside that list comes out of this page.
Wishing Bunga a smooth procedure and a full recovery. Greetings from Tiruchirappalli.
Hang in there. I hope things turn around soon. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. Take care.
Looking forward to the next update. My husband and I read this together. Greetings from Hawassa.
thinking of you and your family. Gave what I could, wish it was more. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. Blessings
