Independence for Jaxon: prosthetic leg
Jaxon needs a prosthetic leg that the health system won't fund; the cost is $350.
🇬🇧 Liverpool, England, United Kingdom1,352 views
Jaxon lives with multiple sclerosis. The occupational therapist at Liverpool General Hospital has assessed him and recommended a prosthetic leg. The public scheme doesn't cover it, and the quote from the supplier is $350.
His current equipment is 11 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined him to home for 12 weeks.
With the right equipment Jaxon could speak with the people around him. 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 $350 goes:
• First-year servicing plan: $125
• Fitting and training sessions: $135
• Delivery and set-up: $90
With deep gratitude,
Julian

Sending love. Hope the doctors have good news. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Greetings from Cairo
