Noah lives with profound hearing loss. The occupational therapist at Arlington General Hospital has assessed him and recommended a prosthetic leg. The public scheme doesn't cover it, and the quote from the supplier is $6,250. His current equipment is 13 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined him to home for 12 weeks. With the right equipment Noah could go to school independently. 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 $6,250 goes: โ€ข Delivery and set-up: $110 โ€ข First-year servicing plan: $145 โ€ข prosthetic leg: $5,995 Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.
