Mobility fund: prosthetic leg for Delphine in Boulogne-Billancourt
Help Delphine get a prosthetic leg so She can go to school independently.
🇫🇷 Boulogne-Billancourt, Île-de-France, France1,821 views
I live with low vision from retinitis pigmentosa. My occupational therapist at the Boulogne-Billancourt Rehabilitation Centre has assessed me and recommended a prosthetic leg. The public scheme doesn't cover it, and the quote from the supplier is $5,550.
My current equipment is 13 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined me to home for 10 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.
Funds go toward the equipment, delivery, fitting and a year of servicing.
Where the $5,550 goes:
• prosthetic leg: $5,000
• Fitting and training sessions: $175
• Delivery and set-up: $95
• First-year servicing plan: $280
If you're reading this, thank you.

Best of luck. Wishing Delphine a smooth procedure and a full recovery. Don't be hard on yourself for asking.
Sending good thoughts, Delphine. Shared it with a few friends. Thinking of Boulogne-Billancourt.
Praying for you. Looking forward to the next update. My neighbor in Leeds donated after I showed her your page. Take care.
