Independence for Kristine: prosthetic leg
Kristine needs a prosthetic leg that the health system won't fund; the cost is $1,250.
🇵🇭 Taguig, Metro Manila, Philippines811 views
I live with muscular dystrophy. My occupational therapist at the Taguig Mobility Clinic has assessed me and recommended a prosthetic leg. The public scheme doesn't cover it, and the quote from the supplier is $1,250.
My current equipment is 8 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined me to home for 7 weeks.
With the right equipment I could speak with the people around her. 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 $1,250 goes:
• prosthetic leg: $1,150
• Fitting and training sessions: $20
• Delivery and set-up: $15
• First-year servicing plan: $65

Hope it all works out, Kristine. Hope you get there. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. All the best.
