Independence for Vihaan: prosthetic leg
A prosthetic leg would give Vihaan independence - we're $650 away.
🇮🇳 Mumbai, Maharashtra, India1,276 views
Vihaan lives with profound hearing loss. The occupational therapist at the Mumbai Mobility Clinic has assessed him and recommended a prosthetic leg. The public scheme doesn't cover it, and the quote from the supplier is $650.
His current equipment is 15 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined him to home for 10 weeks.
With the right equipment Vihaan could speak with the people around him. 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.
I'll pay the supplier directly from the funds, and I'll post a photo once the equipment is delivered.
Where the $650 goes:
• First-year servicing plan: $40
• prosthetic leg: $560
• Fitting and training sessions: $50
If you're reading this, thank you.
