Mobility fund: prosthetic leg for Autumn in Bakersfield
Help Autumn get a prosthetic leg so She can go outside without waiting for someone to push.
Anywhere in the world3,189 views
Autumn lives with a spinal cord injury. The occupational therapist at the Bakersfield Rehabilitation Centre has assessed her and recommended a prosthetic leg. The public scheme doesn't cover it, and the quote from the supplier is $4,100.
Her current equipment is 10 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined her to home for 6 weeks.
With the right equipment Autumn could go outside without waiting for someone to push. 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 $4,100 goes:
• prosthetic leg: $3,450
• Fitting and training sessions: $165
• Delivery and set-up: $170
• First-year servicing plan: $315
Every share and every dollar helps.

Shared it with a few friends. I went through something like this 8 years ago and strangers helped me out!
Sending strength. I hope things turn around soon. Love from Awka.
Sending strength, Adrian. Looking forward to the next update. God bless.
You're not alone, Adrian. Gave what I could, wish it was more. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it.
Hang in there, Adrian. I hope things turn around soon. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected.
Wishing you peace, Adrian. Looking forward to the next update. All the best!
