Karl lives with a rare neuromuscular condition. The occupational therapist at the Berlin Rehabilitation Centre has assessed him and recommended a prosthetic leg. The public scheme doesn't cover it, and the quote from the supplier is $2,350. His current equipment is 15 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined him to home for 10 weeks. With the right equipment Karl could go to school independently. 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 $2,350 goes: • prosthetic leg: $2,050 • First-year servicing plan: $175 • Delivery and set-up: $125 Thanks for reading all this. - Lina
