Deepa lives with muscular dystrophy. The occupational therapist at Mumbai General Hospital has assessed her and recommended a prosthetic leg. The public scheme doesn't cover it, and the quote from the supplier is $450. Her current equipment is 11 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined her to home for 10 weeks. With the right equipment Deepa could attend work interviews. 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 $450 goes: • prosthetic leg: $360 • Fitting and training sessions: $40 • Delivery and set-up: $10 • First-year servicing plan: $40 Thank you for reading my story. - Rajesh
