Quezon City

Erica lives with profound hearing loss. The occupational therapist at the Quezon City Rehabilitation Centre has assessed her and recommended a prosthetic leg. The public scheme doesn't cover it, and the quote from the supplier is $400. Her current equipment is 13 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined her to home for 5 weeks. With the right equipment Erica could speak with the people around her. 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 $400 goes: • Delivery and set-up: $20 • First-year servicing plan: $35 • prosthetic leg: $345 Glad we found this place.
