Independence for Wafula: prosthetic leg
Help Wafula get a prosthetic leg so He can attend work interviews.
🇰🇪 Nakuru, Nakuru, Kenya1,981 views
I live with a spinal cord injury. My occupational therapist at Nakuru General Hospital has assessed me and recommended a prosthetic leg. The public scheme doesn't cover it, and the quote from the supplier is $1,200.
My current equipment is 8 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined me to home for 7 weeks.
With the right equipment I could attend work interviews. 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 $1,200 goes:
• First-year servicing plan: $35
• Delivery and set-up: $15
• prosthetic leg: $1,150
Thanks for reading all this.
