I live with cerebral palsy. My occupational therapist at Bogra General Hospital has assessed me and recommended a prosthetic leg. The public scheme doesn't cover it, and the quote from the supplier is $600. My current equipment is 8 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined me to home for 8 weeks. With the right equipment I could go to school independently. 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. I'll pay the supplier directly from the funds, and I'll post a photo once the equipment is delivered. Where the $600 goes: • First-year servicing plan: $35 • Fitting and training sessions: $35 • prosthetic leg: $530 Thanks for being kind about this.
