Independence for Craig: prosthetic leg
Help Craig get a prosthetic leg so He can join the school sports day.
🇨🇦 Canada4,382 views
Craig lives with multiple sclerosis. The occupational therapist at Mississauga General Hospital has assessed him and recommended a prosthetic leg. The public scheme doesn't cover it, and the quote from the supplier is $3,500.
His current equipment is 15 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined him to home for 6 weeks.
With the right equipment Craig 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 $3,500 goes:
• prosthetic leg: $2,950
• Fitting and training sessions: $240
• Delivery and set-up: $145
• First-year servicing plan: $165
Thank you so much.

I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. Love from Bronx
is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Craig!
Everything on the list is an amount I've been quoted or invoiced. prosthetic leg comes first ($2,950) and I'll update the page as each thing gets paid. Thanks for looking so closely.
shared this with my family. Love from Brooklyn.
so sorry you're going through this, Taylor. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest.
shared this with my family. Thinking of Mississauga.
Sending good thoughts, Taylor. This could happen to any of us. Love from San Francisco.
