Daniel needs a prosthetic leg - help us make it happen
A prosthetic leg would give Daniel independence - we're $8,950 away.
🇺🇸 California, United States7,818 views
Daniel lives with low vision from retinitis pigmentosa. The occupational therapist at the Fresno Rehabilitation Centre has assessed him and recommended a prosthetic leg. The public scheme doesn't cover it, and the quote from the supplier is $8,950.
His current equipment is 11 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined him to home for 12 weeks.
With the right equipment Daniel could go outside without waiting for someone to push. 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 $8,950 goes:
• First-year servicing plan: $210
• prosthetic leg: $8,500
• Fitting and training sessions: $240
With deep gratitude,
Robert

So sorry you're going through this. Hope you get there. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. God bless.
Sending love. Gave what I could, wish it was more. My neighbor in Anaheim donated after I showed her your page. Thinking of Fresno.
sending strength, Robert. Your post was clear and honest
Wishing you the best, Robert. Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day. Blessings
Thanks for sharing this, Robert. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry.
Praying for you. Looking forward to the next update. I hope May is when things finally get easier. Blessings.
Take care, Robert. Wishing Daniel a smooth procedure and a full recovery. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected.
Keep going, Robert. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. I hope May is when things finally get easier. Blessings.
