Independence for Chantel: prosthetic leg
Help Chantel get a prosthetic leg so She can join the school sports day.
Anywhere in the world555 views
Chantel lives with muscular dystrophy. The occupational therapist at the Richards Bay Rehabilitation Centre has assessed her and recommended a prosthetic leg. The public scheme doesn't cover it, and the quote from the supplier is $2,250.
Her current equipment is 10 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined her to home for 7 weeks.
With the right equipment Chantel could join the school sports day. 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 $2,250 goes:
• prosthetic leg: $2,050
• Fitting and training sessions: $105
• Delivery and set-up: $30
• First-year servicing plan: $65
With deep gratitude,
Thabo
