Independence for João: prosthetic leg
Help João get a prosthetic leg so He can go outside without waiting for someone to push.
🇧🇷 Campinas, São Paulo, Brazil1,084 views
João lives with an amputation below the knee. The occupational therapist at the Campinas Mobility Clinic has assessed him and recommended a prosthetic leg. The public scheme doesn't cover it, and the quote from the supplier is $1,000.
His current equipment is 8 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined him to home for 5 weeks.
With the right equipment João 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.
Funds go toward the equipment, delivery, fitting and a year of servicing.
Where the $1,000 goes:
• prosthetic leg: $830
• Fitting and training sessions: $40
• Delivery and set-up: $35
• First-year servicing plan: $95
Thanks for reading all this.

sending good thoughts. Looking forward to the next update. Love from Istanbul.
Praying for you, Henrique. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. Take care
