Mobility fund: prosthetic leg for Emmanuel in Davao City

Emmanuel needs a prosthetic leg that the health system won't fund; the cost is $1,050.

Davao City
Emmanuel lives with low vision from retinitis pigmentosa. The occupational therapist at Davao City General Hospital has assessed him and recommended a prosthetic leg. The public scheme doesn't cover it, and the quote from the supplier is $1,050. His current equipment is 10 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined him to home for 7 weeks. With the right equipment Emmanuel could get to the shops and visit friends. 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 $1,050 goes: • prosthetic leg: $920 • Fitting and training sessions: $35 • Delivery and set-up: $30 • First-year servicing plan: $65 I hope life is good to you. - Gianna
