Ramesh lives with a spinal cord injury. The occupational therapist at the Pune Mobility Clinic has assessed him and recommended a prosthetic leg. The public scheme doesn't cover it, and the quote from the supplier is $600.
His current equipment is 11 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined him to home for 12 weeks.
With the right equipment Ramesh could attend work interviews. 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 $600 goes:
• prosthetic leg: $500
• Fitting and training sessions: $55
• Delivery and set-up: $15
• First-year servicing plan: $30
Thanks for reading all this.

Hang in there, Meena. Gave what I could, wish it was more.
take care. I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. Thinking of Pune
Best of luck, Meena. Hope you get there. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. All the best.
Best of luck, Meena. Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. Blessings.
Hope things get better soon. I hope things turn around soon. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. Blessings
