Madrid
I live with a rare neuromuscular condition. My occupational therapist at Madrid General Hospital has assessed me and recommended a prosthetic leg. The public scheme doesn't cover it, and the quote from the supplier is $3,250. My current equipment is 15 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined me to home for 3 weeks. With the right equipment I could go outside without waiting for someone to push. It would change my everyday life and my ability to work from home. We've applied to two charities already and received small contributions; this campaign covers the rest. Funds go toward the equipment, delivery, fitting and a year of servicing. Where the $3,250 goes: • Fitting and training sessions: $110 • First-year servicing plan: $220 • prosthetic leg: $2,920 Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly. - Graciela

    I can't speak highly enough about this helper. They were available when I needed them, supportive when I felt lost, and practical in their solutions.

    The support I received was beyond what I expected. Not only did they help with the immediate need, but they also provided guidance for long-term solutions. I'm forever grateful.
