Manoel needs a prosthetic leg - help us make it happen
Help Manoel get a prosthetic leg so He can attend work interviews.
🇧🇷 Uberlândia, Minas Gerais, Brazil738 views
Manoel lives with profound hearing loss. The occupational therapist at Uberlândia General Hospital has assessed him and recommended a prosthetic leg. The public scheme doesn't cover it, and the quote from the supplier is $850.
His current equipment is 8 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined him to home for 12 weeks.
With the right equipment Manoel could attend work interviews. 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.
I'll pay the supplier directly from the funds, and I'll post a photo once the equipment is delivered.
Where the $850 goes:
• prosthetic leg: $590
• Fitting and training sessions: $105
• Delivery and set-up: $50
• First-year servicing plan: $105
I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.
