Independence for Greta: prosthetic leg
Help Greta get a prosthetic leg so She can go outside without waiting for someone to push.
🇸🇪 Malmö, Skåne, Sweden3,644 views
Greta lives with a rare neuromuscular condition. The occupational therapist at Malmö General Hospital has assessed her and recommended a prosthetic leg. The public scheme doesn't cover it, and the quote from the supplier is $5,050.
Her current equipment is 9 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined her to home for 7 weeks.
With the right equipment Greta could go outside without waiting for someone to push. 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 $5,050 goes:
• prosthetic leg: $4,400
• Fitting and training sessions: $300
• Delivery and set-up: $60
• First-year servicing plan: $290
Glad we found this place.

Good news. Because of your gifts ($1,826 in total) I met with the supplier and confirmed the amounts. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.
