Independence for Imelda: prosthetic leg
Help Imelda get a prosthetic leg so She can go outside without waiting for someone to push.
🇵🇭 Manila, Metro Manila, Philippines1,413 views
I live with cerebral palsy. My occupational therapist at Manila General Hospital has assessed me and recommended a prosthetic leg. The public scheme doesn't cover it, and the quote from the supplier is $1,450.
My current equipment is 14 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined me to home for 7 weeks.
With the right equipment I could go outside without waiting for someone to push. 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 $1,450 goes:
• prosthetic leg: $1,300
• Fitting and training sessions: $60
• Delivery and set-up: $35
• First-year servicing plan: $55
Thanks for reading all this.
