Mobility fund: prosthetic leg for Colton in Houston
A prosthetic leg would give Colton independence - we're $6,550 away.
🇺🇸 United States2,323 views
I live with a rare neuromuscular condition. My occupational therapist at the Houston Mobility Clinic has assessed me and recommended a prosthetic leg. The public scheme doesn't cover it, and the quote from the supplier is $6,550.
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 get to the shops and visit friends. 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 $6,550 goes:
• Fitting and training sessions: $185
• Delivery and set-up: $105
• prosthetic leg: $6,260
Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot.

Hope it all works out, Colton. Hope you get there. Take care.
I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. Blessings
hope things get better soon. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. My husband and I read this together. Love from San Francisco.
Best of luck. Your post was clear and honest. I have a 7 year old who wants to send good wishes too. Blessings
Hang in there, Colton. Wishing Colton a smooth procedure and a full recovery.
