Phong lives with profound hearing loss. The occupational therapist at the Hồ Chí Minh City Mobility Clinic has assessed him and recommended a prosthetic leg. The public scheme doesn't cover it, and the quote from the supplier is $1,400. His current equipment is 9 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined him to home for 3 weeks. With the right equipment Phong 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 $1,400 goes: • prosthetic leg: $1,250 • Fitting and training sessions: $50 • Delivery and set-up: $30 • First-year servicing plan: $70 If you can't give, please share this page. It does reach people. - Hoa
