Independence for Nabil: prosthetic leg

Nabil needs a prosthetic leg that the health system won't fund; the cost is $7,250.

Nabil lives with low vision from retinitis pigmentosa. The occupational therapist at the Poitiers Mobility Clinic has assessed him and recommended a prosthetic leg. The public scheme doesn't cover it, and the quote from the supplier is $7,250. His current equipment is 15 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined him to home for 10 weeks. With the right equipment Nabil could speak with the people around him. 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. I'll pay the supplier directly from the funds, and I'll post a photo once the equipment is delivered. Where the $7,250 goes: • prosthetic leg: $6,750 • Fitting and training sessions: $220 • Delivery and set-up: $100 • First-year servicing plan: $180 Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself. - Rima
