Mobility fund: prosthetic leg for Adel in Jeddah
A prosthetic leg would give Adel independence - we're $2,650 away.
🇸🇦 Jeddah, Makkah, Saudi Arabia1,417 views
Adel lives with muscular dystrophy. The occupational therapist at the Jeddah Mobility Clinic has assessed him and recommended a prosthetic leg. The public scheme doesn't cover it, and the quote from the supplier is $2,650.
His current equipment is 10 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined him to home for 5 weeks.
With the right equipment Adel 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.
I'll pay the supplier directly from the funds, and I'll post a photo once the equipment is delivered.
Where the $2,650 goes:
• prosthetic leg: $2,100
• Fitting and training sessions: $185
• Delivery and set-up: $120
• First-year servicing plan: $245
I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen.
Updates from Dina
Update from Jeddah: I met with the supplier and confirmed the amounts. We're at 8% of the goal. Thank you for believing in us.
Small update. $139 so far, I made the first payment toward prosthetic leg.
