Kylie needs a prosthetic leg - help us make it happen
A prosthetic leg would give Kylie independence - we're $4,100 away.
🇺🇸 San Francisco, California, United States3,784 views
Kylie lives with a spinal cord injury. The occupational therapist at San Francisco General Hospital has assessed her and recommended a prosthetic leg. The public scheme doesn't cover it, and the quote from the supplier is $4,100.
Her current equipment is 12 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined her to home for 12 weeks.
With the right equipment Kylie could speak with the people around her. 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 $4,100 goes:
• Fitting and training sessions: $360
• Delivery and set-up: $115
• prosthetic leg: $3,625
Thanks for reading all this.

Shared it with a few friends. My sister had a similar thing happen so this one hit home.
Rooting for you, Cooper. I hope things turn around soon. God bless.
