Independence for Soo-ah: prosthetic leg
Soo-ah needs a prosthetic leg that the health system won't fund; the cost is $4,150.
🇰🇷 Seoul, Seoul, South Korea3,402 views
I live with profound hearing loss. My occupational therapist at Seoul General Hospital has assessed me and recommended a prosthetic leg. The public scheme doesn't cover it, and the quote from the supplier is $4,150.
My current equipment is 15 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined me to home for 8 weeks.
With the right equipment I could speak with the people around her. 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 $4,150 goes:
• Delivery and set-up: $60
• prosthetic leg: $3,950
• First-year servicing plan: $140
Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot.

is there anything that isn't money that would help Soo-ah?
Hope it all works out. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. Love from Salem.
Hope you get there. Greetings from Envigado.
Wishing you the best, Soo-ah. Wishing Soo-ah a smooth procedure and a full recovery. Take care.
