Mobility fund: prosthetic leg for Anisur in Durgapur
Anisur needs a prosthetic leg that the health system will not fund; the cost is $400.

I live with a spinal cord injury. My occupational therapist at the Durgapur Mobility Clinic has assessed me and recommended a prosthetic leg. The public scheme doesn't cover it, and the quote from the supplier is $400.
My current equipment is 9 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined me to home for 5 weeks.
With the right equipment I could join the school sports day. It would change my everyday life and my ability to work from home.
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 $400 goes:
• prosthetic leg: $290
• Fitting and training sessions: $45
• Delivery and set-up: $25
• First-year servicing plan: $40
Thank you so much.
