Leo needs a prosthetic leg - help us make it happen
A prosthetic leg would give Leo independence - we're $550 away.

Leo lives with profound hearing loss. The occupational therapist at the Leicester Mobility Clinic has assessed him and recommended a prosthetic leg. The public scheme doesn't cover it, and the quote from the supplier is $550.
His current equipment is 9 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined him to home for 10 weeks.
With the right equipment Leo 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.
Funds go toward the equipment, delivery, fitting and a year of servicing.
Where the $550 goes:
• Delivery and set-up: $95
• Fitting and training sessions: $200
• First-year servicing plan: $255
I hope life is good to you.
