Independence for Brielle: prosthetic leg
Help Brielle get a prosthetic leg so She can get to the shops and visit friends.
🇬🇧 Wales, United Kingdom4,379 views
Brielle lives with multiple sclerosis. The occupational therapist at the Newport Mobility Clinic has assessed her and recommended a prosthetic leg. The public scheme doesn't cover it, and the quote from the supplier is $7,050.
Her current equipment is 13 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined her to home for 6 weeks.
With the right equipment Brielle could get to the shops and visit friends. 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 $7,050 goes:
• prosthetic leg: $6,250
• Fitting and training sessions: $330
• Delivery and set-up: $140
• First-year servicing plan: $330
Thanks for being kind about this.

Sending good thoughts, Isaac. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Sent it to 16 people at work!
stay strong, Isaac. Shared it with a few friends. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. God bless.
Praying for you. Hope this works out for you. I'll check back for the next update. Thinking of Newport
