Independence for Tabitha: prosthetic leg
A prosthetic leg would give Tabitha independence - we're $350 away.

I live with an amputation below the knee. My occupational therapist at the Kampala Mobility Clinic has assessed me and recommended a prosthetic leg. The public scheme doesn't cover it, and the quote from the supplier is $350.
My current equipment is 11 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined me to home for 3 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.
Funds go toward the equipment, delivery, fitting and a year of servicing.
Where the $350 goes:
• prosthetic leg: $300
• Delivery and set-up: $15
• Fitting and training sessions: $35
I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.

Hope it all works out, Tabitha. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest.
Wishing you peace. Get well soon. We're a small family in Lahore but we're thinking of you
Praying for you, Tabitha. I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. Take care
Shared it with a few friends. Put this on a community board in Caloocan this morning. Love from Caloocan.
Wishing you peace. This could happen to any of us. My neighbor in Dallas donated after I showed her your page. Take care.
