Independence for Zainab: prosthetic leg
A prosthetic leg would give Zainab independence - we are $850 away.
🇳🇬 Nigeria1,467 views
Zainab lives with a spinal cord injury. The occupational therapist at the Ikeja Rehabilitation Centre has assessed her and recommended a prosthetic leg. The public scheme doesn't cover it, and the quote from the supplier is $850.
Her current equipment is 8 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined her to home for 6 weeks.
With the right equipment Zainab could get to the shops and visit friends. 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 $850 goes:
• prosthetic leg: $750
• Fitting and training sessions: $40
• Delivery and set-up: $30
• First-year servicing plan: $30
Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot.

Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Zainab.
The list at the bottom is the whole picture. prosthetic leg is the biggest at $750. It helps to be asked.
