Independence for David: prosthetic leg
Help David get a prosthetic leg so He can go to school independently.
🇺🇸 Pennsylvania, United States1,192 views
David lives with a rare neuromuscular condition. The occupational therapist at the Philadelphia Mobility Clinic has assessed him and recommended a prosthetic leg. The public scheme doesn't cover it, and the quote from the supplier is $700.
His current equipment is 13 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined him to home for 7 weeks.
With the right equipment David could go to school independently. 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 $700 goes:
• First-year servicing plan: $420
• Fitting and training sessions: $180
• Delivery and set-up: $100

Hope it all works out. I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. Thinking of Philadelphia
Sending love. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Greetings from Minneapolis
Keep going, Matthew. Shared it with a few friends. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust
