Independence for Lina: prosthetic leg
A prosthetic leg would give Lina independence - we're $7,350 away.

I live with profound hearing loss. My occupational therapist at the Birmingham Mobility Clinic has assessed me and recommended a prosthetic leg. The public scheme doesn't cover it, and the quote from the supplier is $7,350.
My current equipment is 14 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined me to home for 4 weeks.
With the right equipment I could attend work interviews. 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 $7,350 goes:
• prosthetic leg: $6,750
• Fitting and training sessions: $280
• Delivery and set-up: $160
• First-year servicing plan: $160
Thanks for reading all this.

Praying for you, Lina. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it
