Concetta needs a prosthetic leg - help us make it happen
Help Concetta get a prosthetic leg so She can go to school independently.
🇮🇹 Lazio, Italy5,573 views
Concetta lives with cerebral palsy. The occupational therapist at the Rome Mobility Clinic has assessed her and recommended a prosthetic leg. The public scheme doesn't cover it, and the quote from the supplier is $4,650.
Her current equipment is 8 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined her to home for 6 weeks.
With the right equipment Concetta 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 $4,650 goes:
• prosthetic leg: $4,200
• Fitting and training sessions: $185
• Delivery and set-up: $55
• First-year servicing plan: $210
Every share and every dollar helps.

Sending love. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Don't give up. Take care
is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Concetta
sending good thoughts, Ilaria. Gave what I could, wish it was more. We're a small family in Hồ Chí Minh City but we're thinking of you. God bless!
Best of luck. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Love from Coventry.
Rooting for you, Ilaria. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. After 30 years in farming I know how hard it's to ask for anything. All the best.
Wishing Concetta a smooth procedure and a full recovery. All the best.
