Parth lives with a spinal cord injury. The occupational therapist at Pune General Hospital has assessed him and recommended a prosthetic leg. The public scheme doesn't cover it, and the quote from the supplier is $750. His current equipment is 11 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined him to home for 7 weeks. With the right equipment Parth 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 $750 goes: • Fitting and training sessions: $50 • Delivery and set-up: $20 • prosthetic leg: $680 If you can't give, please share this page. It does reach people. - Bhavna
