Independence for Mandla: prosthetic leg
Help Mandla get a prosthetic leg so He can speak with the people around him.
🇿🇦 South Africa520 views
I live with muscular dystrophy. My occupational therapist at Bloemfontein General Hospital has assessed me and recommended a prosthetic leg. The public scheme doesn't cover it, and the quote from the supplier is $750.
My current equipment is 10 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined me to home for 5 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.
Funds go toward the equipment, delivery, fitting and a year of servicing.
Where the $750 goes:
• prosthetic leg: $540
• Fitting and training sessions: $80
• Delivery and set-up: $40
• First-year servicing plan: $90
Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.

Stay strong, Mandla. Shared this with my family. Greetings from Guadalajara.
Sending love. Hope you get there. Wish I lived closer to Surakarta so I could bring a meal.
Praying for you. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Greetings from Jakarta.
