Independence for Soo-ah: prosthetic leg

Soo-ah needs a prosthetic leg that the health system won't fund; the cost is $4,150.

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.
