Hugo needs a prosthetic leg - help us make it happen
A prosthetic leg would give Hugo independence - we're $5,850 away.
🇫🇷 Paris, Île-de-France, France646 views
Hugo lives with an amputation below the knee. The occupational therapist at Paris General Hospital has assessed him and recommended a prosthetic leg. The public scheme doesn't cover it, and the quote from the supplier is $5,850.
His current equipment is 12 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined him to home for 5 weeks.
With the right equipment Hugo could speak with the people around him. 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 $5,850 goes:
• prosthetic leg: $5,500
• Fitting and training sessions: $280
• Delivery and set-up: $70
Thank you for reading my story.
