Independence for Saanvi: prosthetic leg
Help Saanvi get a prosthetic leg so She can speak with the people around her.
Anywhere in the world1,832 views
Saanvi lives with an amputation below the knee. The occupational therapist at the Tucson Mobility Clinic has assessed her and recommended a prosthetic leg. The public scheme doesn't cover it, and the quote from the supplier is $2,500.
Her current equipment is 15 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined her to home for 6 weeks.
With the right equipment Saanvi could speak with the people around her. 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 $2,500 goes:
• prosthetic leg: $2,000
• Fitting and training sessions: $145
• Delivery and set-up: $155
• First-year servicing plan: $200
Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot.

can I help in a way that isn't money? I'm near Tucson.
Thank you. If you're in Tucson I'll say if something practical comes up. For now sharing this is great. Let me know if you want more detail.
So sorry you're going through this. Hope you get there. Thinking of Tucson
how is Saanvi doing now?
You're not alone, Myra. Hope the doctors have good news. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Blessings.
Looking forward to the next update. Greetings from Contagem.
Wishing you the best, Myra. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Don't give up. Thinking of Tucson
sending good thoughts, Myra. Hope the doctors have good news. We're a small family in Nottingham but we're thinking of you.
Get well soon. I went through something like this 9 years ago and strangers helped me out. Love from Epe.
This could happen to any of us. Greetings from New Orleans.
sending strength, Myra. Hope you get there. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. All the best!
Thanks for sharing this, Myra. Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick.
