Ishrat needs a prosthetic leg - help us make it happen
A prosthetic leg would give Ishrat independence - we're $400 away.

I live with multiple sclerosis. My occupational therapist at Rajshahi General Hospital has assessed me and recommended a prosthetic leg. The public scheme doesn't cover it, and the quote from the supplier is $400.
My current equipment is 12 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined me to home for 10 weeks.
With the right equipment I could go outside without waiting for someone to push. 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 $400 goes:
• prosthetic leg: $300
• Fitting and training sessions: $25
• Delivery and set-up: $25
• First-year servicing plan: $50
Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.

Sending strength, Ishrat. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. All the best.
Praying for you. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. I have a 10 year old who wants to send good wishes too. Thinking of Rajshahi.
is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Ishrat
Everything on the list is an amount I've been quoted or invoiced. prosthetic leg comes first ($300) and I'll update the page as each thing gets paid. Thanks, that means a lot.
Best of luck, Ishrat. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Take care
Thanks for sharing this, Ishrat. Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry.
how is Ishrat doing now?
Take care, Ishrat. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Don't be hard on yourself for asking
Thinking of you and your family, Ishrat. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. God bless.
Wishing you peace, Ishrat. Looking forward to the next update. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust.
you're not alone. Get well soon. Don't give up. Greetings from Sydney.
you're not alone. Hope you get there. Please keep us posted
Hang in there, Ishrat. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. Take care
reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. I hope December is when things finally get easier.
