Mobility fund: prosthetic leg for Bello in Lagos
Help Bello get a prosthetic leg so He can go to school independently.
🇳🇬 Lagos, Nigeria468 views
I live with a rare neuromuscular condition. My occupational therapist at the Lagos Rehabilitation Centre has assessed me and recommended a prosthetic leg. The public scheme doesn't cover it, and the quote from the supplier is $100.
My current equipment is 8 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined me to home for 5 weeks.
With the right equipment I could go to school independently. 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.
I'll pay the supplier directly from the funds, and I'll post a photo once the equipment is delivered.
Where the $100 goes:
• Delivery and set-up: $15
• First-year servicing plan: $45
• Fitting and training sessions: $40
You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.
