Independence for Gabriela: prosthetic leg
A prosthetic leg would give Gabriela independence - we're $3,700 away.

I live with multiple sclerosis. My occupational therapist at the Bilbao Mobility Clinic has assessed me and recommended a prosthetic leg. The public scheme doesn't cover it, and the quote from the supplier is $3,700.
My current equipment is 14 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined me to home for 10 weeks.
With the right equipment I could attend work interviews. 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.
Funds go toward the equipment, delivery, fitting and a year of servicing.
Where the $3,700 goes:
• prosthetic leg: $3,200
• Fitting and training sessions: $230
• Delivery and set-up: $55
• First-year servicing plan: $215
If you're reading this, thank you.

Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick. Wish I lived closer to Buffalo so I could bring a meal.
hope it all works out. This could happen to any of us. I went through something like this 10 years ago and strangers helped me out.
Hang in there, Gabriela. I hope things turn around soon. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it.
Get well soon. My neighbor had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. Love from Nagpur
Hang in there, Gabriela. Looking forward to the next update. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. Love from Rome.
praying for you, Gabriela. This could happen to any of us. I'll check back for the next update. Thinking of Bilbao
