Independence for Antonio: prosthetic leg
Help Antonio get a prosthetic leg so He can speak with the people around him.
🇨🇴 Colombia2,489 views
Antonio lives with multiple sclerosis. The occupational therapist at the Cali Mobility Clinic has assessed him and recommended a prosthetic leg. The public scheme doesn't cover it, and the quote from the supplier is $1,550.
His current equipment is 11 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined him to home for 8 weeks.
With the right equipment Antonio 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.
Funds go toward the equipment, delivery, fitting and a year of servicing.
Where the $1,550 goes:
• prosthetic leg: $1,300
• Fitting and training sessions: $105
• Delivery and set-up: $35
• First-year servicing plan: $110
Thank you so much.

Sending good thoughts, Carolina. I hope things turn around soon. Wish I lived closer to Bengaluru so I could bring a meal. Love from Jakarta Barat!
Hope things get better soon, Carolina. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. God bless.
praying for you, Carolina. Gave what I could, wish it was more.
Keep going. Hope this works out for you. I'm in accounting myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you.
