Madhu needs a prosthetic leg that the health system won't fund; the cost is $600.

I live with muscular dystrophy. My occupational therapist at the St. Petersburg Mobility Clinic has assessed me and recommended a prosthetic leg. The public scheme doesn't cover it, and the quote from the supplier is $600. My current equipment is 10 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined me to home for 4 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. I'll pay the supplier directly from the funds, and I'll post a photo once the equipment is delivered. Where the $600 goes: • Delivery and set-up: $65 • Fitting and training sessions: $250 • First-year servicing plan: $285 With deep gratitude, Madhu
