Independence for Maksym: prosthetic leg
Help Maksym get a prosthetic leg so He can speak with the people around him.
🇺🇦 Odesa, Odesa Oblast, Ukraine1,557 views
I live with a rare neuromuscular condition. My occupational therapist at the Odesa Rehabilitation Centre has assessed me and recommended a prosthetic leg. The public scheme doesn't cover it, and the quote from the supplier is $650.
My current equipment is 12 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 him. 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 $650 goes:
• prosthetic leg: $550
• First-year servicing plan: $40
• Fitting and training sessions: $60
Thank you so much.

Wishing you the best, Maksym. Shared it with a few friends. Take care.
Hang in there, Maksym. Hope this works out for you. I have a 9 year old who wants to send good wishes too. Blessings.
praying for you, Maksym. Hope the doctors have good news. We're a small family in Santos but we're thinking of you. God bless.
Thinking of you, Maksym. I hope things turn around soon. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Thinking of Odesa.
