Independence for Uyên: prosthetic leg
Uyên needs a prosthetic leg that the health system won't fund; the cost is $900.
🇻🇳 Vietnam1,000 views
Uyên lives with a rare neuromuscular condition. The occupational therapist at Hồ Chí Minh City General Hospital has assessed her and recommended a prosthetic leg. The public scheme doesn't cover it, and the quote from the supplier is $900.
Her current equipment is 15 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined her to home for 4 weeks.
With the right equipment Uyên could go to school independently. 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.
Funds go toward the equipment, delivery, fitting and a year of servicing.
Where the $900 goes:
• prosthetic leg: $780
• Fitting and training sessions: $35
• Delivery and set-up: $15
• First-year servicing plan: $70
