Marcus needs a prosthetic leg - help us make it happen

A prosthetic leg would give Marcus independence - we're $4,150 away.

Mandurah
Marcus lives with a rare neuromuscular condition. The occupational therapist at the Mandurah Rehabilitation Centre has assessed him and recommended a prosthetic leg. The public scheme doesn't cover it, and the quote from the supplier is $4,150. His current equipment is 13 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined him to home for 5 weeks. With the right equipment Marcus could go to school independently. 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 $4,150 goes: • First-year servicing plan: $210 • Fitting and training sessions: $170 • prosthetic leg: $3,770 Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot. - Axel
