Independence for Cristiane: prosthetic leg
Help Cristiane get a prosthetic leg so She can get to the shops and visit friends.
🇧🇷 São Paulo, São Paulo, Brazil1,141 views
I live with a rare neuromuscular condition. My occupational therapist at the São Paulo Mobility Clinic has assessed me and recommended a prosthetic leg. The public scheme doesn't cover it, and the quote from the supplier is $2,300.
My current equipment is 12 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined me to home for 12 weeks.
With the right equipment I could get to the shops and visit friends. It would change my everyday life and my ability to work from home.
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 $2,300 goes:
• prosthetic leg: $2,100
• Fitting and training sessions: $105
• Delivery and set-up: $60
• First-year servicing plan: $35
You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.

Hope things get better soon. I hope things turn around soon. My husband and I read this together. God bless.
So sorry you're going through this, Cristiane. Looking forward to the next update. I went through something like this 8 years ago and strangers helped me out. All the best
Hang in there, Cristiane. Hope this works out for you. Blessings.
