Independence for Monique: prosthetic leg
A prosthetic leg would give Monique independence - we're $4,650 away.
🇨🇦 Quebec, Canada3,095 views
Monique lives with cerebral palsy. The occupational therapist at the Montréal Rehabilitation Centre has assessed her and recommended a prosthetic leg. The public scheme doesn't cover it, and the quote from the supplier is $4,650.
Her current equipment is 15 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined her to home for 7 weeks.
With the right equipment Monique could get to the shops and visit friends. 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 $4,650 goes:
• prosthetic leg: $3,950
• Fitting and training sessions: $430
• Delivery and set-up: $60
• First-year servicing plan: $210
You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.
