Independence for Pradeep: prosthetic leg
Pradeep needs a prosthetic leg that the health system won't fund; the cost is $1,050.

I live with cerebral palsy. My occupational therapist at the Hubballi Mobility Clinic has assessed me and recommended a prosthetic leg. The public scheme doesn't cover it, and the quote from the supplier is $1,050.
My current equipment is 9 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined me to home for 6 weeks.
With the right equipment I could get to the shops and visit friends. It would change my everyday life and my ability to work from home.
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 $1,050 goes:
• prosthetic leg: $930
• Fitting and training sessions: $55
• Delivery and set-up: $20
• First-year servicing plan: $45
I hope life is good to you.
