Independence for Obinna: prosthetic leg
Help Obinna get a prosthetic leg so He can get to the shops and visit friends.
🇳🇬 Nigeria1,212 views
Obinna lives with a rare neuromuscular condition. The occupational therapist at the Lagos Rehabilitation Centre has assessed him and recommended a prosthetic leg. The public scheme doesn't cover it, and the quote from the supplier is $950.
His current equipment is 10 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined him to home for 6 weeks.
With the right equipment Obinna 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 $950 goes:
• prosthetic leg: $850
• Fitting and training sessions: $40
• Delivery and set-up: $20
• First-year servicing plan: $40
With deep gratitude,
Halima
