Independence for Meir: prosthetic leg
A prosthetic leg would give Meir independence - we're $3,300 away.
🇮🇱 Jerusalem, Jerusalem, Israel3,899 views
Meir lives with profound hearing loss. The occupational therapist at the Jerusalem Mobility Clinic has assessed him and recommended a prosthetic leg. The public scheme doesn't cover it, and the quote from the supplier is $3,300.
His current equipment is 14 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined him to home for 12 weeks.
With the right equipment Meir could attend work interviews. It would change everyday life for the whole family.
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 $3,300 goes:
• Fitting and training sessions: $220
• Delivery and set-up: $65
• prosthetic leg: $3,015
Every share and every dollar helps.

Wishing you peace. Your post was clear and honest. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. Love from Surabaya.
Can I help in a way that isn't money? I'm near Jerusalem!
wishing you peace, Maya. I hope things turn around soon. God bless
Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. Greetings from Da Nang.
Sending strength. Hope you get there. Greetings from Duque de Caxias.
Hope you get there. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. Take care!
